igar Dave:

I was delighted to receive your letter of April 2nd
but I was chagrimned that you had to write mo first. I wanted
' to mke it a most emphatic congratulatory letter on your
splendid accomplishment of winning the Class A State Chempion-
ship Basketball Tournament. I was delighted because I was ao
imterested in your accomplishing this fact.

it, and I am happy for you. I got a big laugh out of the fact
‘that the.defense was your own, and that it was so crazy that
it fooled everyone. Well, that is all —_ it
Ban"t fal you, fave.

ae Please congratulate Mrs. Shirk for the shirk family,
will you, Dave? — :

mixed up hore, Dave, that I am afraid to attempt it. Ow’ help
is practically nil. Mr. Hutchinson resigned at the stadium
and Deen is doing double duty, or triple duty, I should say.
He is property man end trainer for the teams, and further than
that he is taking some physical conditioning classes on the
side. I am afraid we would have no one here to check out
equipment as Dean will be used at the stadium, and of course:
the high school boys will be. competing in their track events
down e% the stadium and it might be construed as a counter-
attraction with no Relays on. So you will understand that I
would love to have you and your boys, but it is just one of

those things.

see you when you come up for the high school nest, I hopes

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Bauoation, —
