Dear Mr. Richardson:

This will acknowledge receipt of your letter of the
18th instant.

Kensas and Kentucky have never played in football or
basketball, or any othor sport, that I remember.

Adolph Rupp was one of my boys, graduating here in
1923, where he played on the varsity basketball team. I am
very fond of him, but I have never made any statement re-

his ability as a basketball coach. I have told ny
friends that Ke is a very intelligent and scholarly gentlee |
man. I have had no reason to make a comparison of his coach-
inge

Rupp's school] has played Xensas State College, our

agrioultural school at Manhatten, but I have never played
him here. .

Very sincerely yours,

, Director of Physical Biucation and Recreation,
PCA:AH Varsity Basketball and Basevall Coach.
