Dear Docs

I have volunteered for service in the U.S. Naval Reserve under
Tom Hamilton and if I have any luck will be commissioned a Lieuten-
ant in the Physical Training Division. I need several good letters
of recommendation, so am taking advantage of your kindness and am
returning a copy of your old letter to be addressed, signed and
returned to me immediately. |

Finished a rather unsuccessful season in basketball winning 5
and losing 7, but won our objective games against. Williams and Wes-
leyan. We worked well as a unit but lacked in height which always
proved our downfall. We only average 5'83" with one boy 6' but
weighing only 167 lbs. I had a swell bunch of kids who battled
like demons constantly. At the end of the season they gave me a
banquet and presented me with a trophy.

The doors of my home are always open to you, Doc, for l will
always remember our pleasant times at Springfield.

Good luck,
i
