Our Freshmen Team is contributing some tall boys for next years
Jack Ballard from Southwest, Kansas City, is six feet seven inches and a
good boye Charles Black from lawrence, six feet three inches, and Don "Red"
Ettinger from Independence, Missouri is six feet two inchese The latter two
boys weigh around 190 pounds and I imagine that the big boy will weigh very

little less than thise _

Paul furner of Shawnee Mission and Ray Evans of Wyandotte are another
husky pair, @ little bebter than six feet tall and good boys. As it happens,
all five of these boys play football so they can be rugged if they want toe
However, I doubt that all of these — play football next fall, Evans !
and Ettinger perhaps will and maybe lumere I doubt if Black and Ballard will, so
we will get a good start during the fall and learn our fundamentals, then Vile ee
we will be ready to go places with our tall boys next year,

John Buescher, Vance Hall together with Charles Walker of Hutchinson,
and Marvin Sollenberger, who took ill with glandular fever after our Iow. State
game, will be backe Losing Sollenberger at the critical time cost us the
championship for an outright win, but the boys will get their gold basketballs.
and a tied championship is still a championship, so I am very happye

Well, I must quit this, but I wanted to give you the informations
I trust that we will see you Hastere Iam glad that you are happy and that
things are moving along nicely for yous

Give all the girls my kindest regards and tell them that I recall
very pleasantly my visit with them last falle ae

- With all good wishes, I am, affectionately,

Your dad,
