embers of the association would like to issue the
bulletin which contains the course by the beginning of the season,
whether the matter of permanent grounds is thoroughly investigated, or
not. Experience has taught us, too, that the bulletins are received
with more enthusiasm at an early date.
The truly awful accident of last year in which two people were killed
when the tent fell will have its influence on our present campaign for
a permanent building.
Kindly give this matter your attention at your earliest convenience.
Respectfully yours,
HENRY JONES.

Minneapolis, Minnesota,
March 26, 1920.
DEAR FATHER,
You can see from the article which I enclose that we did not
disappoint our principal, even though it has been impossible to
practice during the past week. Under the circumstances it doesn't seem
possible that we could have won, but maybe our success was due to
having no practice before the game. Some of the teams seemed rather
over-trained.
The coach changed me to right forward, although, as you know, I
usually play at guard. I suppose there was a doubt in his mind as to
whether I could guard the tall forwards on some of the teams.
Our team never played together better. We didn't have so great a
variety of plays as some of the other teams, but relied almost
entirely upon our short passing game. What I liked especially was that
there wasn't a single poor official. One of the officials was the man
who spoke last fall on our community health program.
I suppose the team will reach home Saturday night. I am sure that we
ought not to stay here later than Saturday noon. The teams were
entertained at the various fraternity houses and the men have been
very much crowded to make room for us. We certainly appreciate the
good treatment we have received from these men and from everyone.
Affectionately, your son,
HARRY.
