I have changed a little sence you last contacted me. . . . I have played halfback on the Ohio State team in 1944, witch won the national championship, witch you probley remmember. And I also played in the East-West game. . . . I am intersed in coming to your university, this of course if you are intersed in my comming down there. . . . Sence coming out of the Army the cost of living here in Columbus; Ohio has gone up quite a bit. . . . I hope you will look into this matter as soon as possable and let me now. . . ."

Said Coach Fesler: "After reading that letter . . . I don't see how he can pass university subjects. . . ."
