Dear Phog:-

Thanks for taking so much time in writing me.
It's always a pleasure hearing from you.

I think you ought to know that most of us Hast-
ern alumni have become rather indifferent Kansans in recent
years. Our comrades of Nebraska, Missouri and the Big Ten
give us fits about Kansas sports. But this past year we all
came back strong. So you've just about revived our dying
faith in old K.U. You really took your boys up to the finals!

Don't know we'll ever get together to do an art-
icle for the Post. Can't see any trip West real soon. And I'm
too remote from basketball to suggest technical angles. Maybe
I'm wrong, but it seemed to me that height alone didn't do much
good this last year. Your team wasn't so tall and neither was
Indiana. Maybe we could hang an article on the fact that the
tall man has been whittled down. Pretty thin for a whole
article however.

Phog, I've been fascinated with your Beal-hi
baskets. I worked out a pet idea this winter with Bill
Stetson, who coaches the Swarthmore College team -- the best
in the Philadelphia area, by the way. He's a pal of mine. I
told him I wanted him to experiment with you if you ever
brought your team East. He knew about vour eoal-hi baskets.

I asked him to scrimmage with vour team with goal-hi baskets
set ten feet in from the end lines. Doggone 1T 1 den*t think
