tip-top readiness for one of the most strenuous campaigns that we have
ever facede

Oklahoma is quietly passing the grapevine around that they will
have the greatest team they have ever had. This past week I worked on
@ crippled Missouri Tiger basketeer who came to Lawrence for repairs, the
injury being a bad knee, and he tells me that George Edwards thinks he
will have one of the best teams that Missouri has ever had. Nebraska is
sweating blood over thea double defeat administered by us, and thoy
are smarting under criticism of the rowdy tactics they displayed here and
at Lincoln, and they have passed the word out through Elwyn Dees, the
trainer, that Kansas had better look to her laurels this year. Jack Gard=
ner, of Southern California fame, still lives at Manhattan, and the burning
thought lives within him that the first time he licks Kansas will be an
epochal chapter in his Kansas Aggie dcbute You remember Louie Menze is
supposed to have the best team that he has had at Towa State because ho
lost but DeCoster and the big boy, Nichclas. Lovie tells me that he has
a fine bunch of big boys coming ups So if you can find any soft spots,
you pick them for me. I cant find them.

Then we are playing the University of Iowa at Iowa City, and Rollie
Williams is supposed to have a great club in the making there. We are
playing Iowa et Lawrence the following year because I have long refused
to play a Big Ten team unless they promise to return to Lawrence on a
home and home basise

So you now have our year"s forecaste You can help muke it a great
and glorious season if you will knuckle down and with a sense of blind
Loyalty follow where other great champions have trode

With great anticipations and mch hope and a deal of confidence in
your ability, I am i,

Very sincerely yours,
