He had never had a chance to see a basketball game before he came to high school, nevertheless he is one of the most enthusiastic rooters at every game. Dec. 10, 1929. Dear Maw: . Well, us Tigers down here at Warrensburg opened up our season of inn door IS basket ball and we beet Holden 35 to 18. Boy now that was some game. Say maw, 19 I never did se sech a game. Them guys came rushin' out on the court with there s. P. J's on. CI don't expect you know what these P. J's are but these boys up here is an Warrensburg always dress up in them at nites.J Then a boy in short pants run out and blowed a police whistle and what did them guys do but pull off them Ln P. J's right their before us people and you ought to saw those loud underwear them guys had on. Them Holden guys had on blue and we'ens had on red. They tried to see which one could put the ball in the basket most but the basket never did get rs full. Once one of them blue guys smashed a red guy in the face and the boy blowed h that whistle and said, You can't do that, and then the red boy tried to put one in d with out being knocked down. During the first three quarters them Tigers wuzent ahed as much as I thought they ought to have been but during the last quarter they ie . really put that ball through the basket. That's startin the season purtty good don't you think? I bet we Win the next game we play too. How much do you want to bet? to Lovinly yours ll ' lp ' ABIE. 1' P. S.-Oglesby was high point man of this game. He had 14 points. al- to it k 1 19 3 o Page Forty-seven

We played that old town from away down there in the sticks. I think Wiiidsor was the name of it. Did you ever here of it before? They may bee from the sticks but say theys ,got some basketball team. They almost beet us'ns up herer. When the game ended the score wuz tied 22 to 22. They had to play three minutes longer then and us Tigeurs beet them guys 26 to 25. I sure wished you could have saw this game. There never will be another one like it hear. ' . ABIE. Dec. 19, 1929. Dear Sis: Well, sis, heres a game I don't like to talk about. Those darn old fellows that use to play basketball up here came hear and beet us Tigers 36 to 15. They shouldn't expect us Tigers to beet those big guys. They wuz a hole lot biggern we wuz. They jist shot tha ball and it went inn. I don't see how they did it but they did and thats that. ' . ABIE. P. S.-Don't tell any one about this game. I want everybody to think that We is jist as good as those big boys that use to go here. Jan. 3, 1930 Dear Paw: Those dog gone Tigers didn't start the new year like I wanted them to. They Went over too Odessa Friday and them boys over there beet them. But it wuzn't theire fault. That little boy they had on there team wuz a humdinger. He could shut his eyes and shoot and that old ball would go in. That score wuz close all during the game and at the end them crazy guys had to get a couple more baskets and they won. ABIE. Thursday Nite. Dear Paw and Maw: Say, you've heerrd of them old Colts that go over to the Training School? Well We played them tonight and what do you think? Us Tigers just clawed them Colts U0 pieces. At the half they had 6 and We'ens had 7. Did.n't look so good, did it? Well, the reason wuz them Colts wuz so slow and they started playin' slow and us Tigers Weer used to playin fast and them old Colts helt the ball the biggest part of the time during the first half of the game and us Tigenrs never had a chance to score. But don't you think we didn't make them look sick the third quarter. We jist took that ball right away from them and when that whistle blew to tell us the game wuz over we had 23 and they jist 11. Say, they WUZ mad- I bet they C0l11d have jist kicked us to pieces. ABIE. P. S. Listen, maw, you jist tell anybody you Want to about this game, We don't care.
