My dear Dulles:--

Your letter of Feb. 21st., was delayed in reaching me,
but I hope that what information I can give you, will not be too late.

I have no pictures whatever such as you suggest and I am sorry
to say that I cant recall very many of the athletic men. But I will try
to brush up my memory and tell you of as many, as I can.

I think that the honors athleticly lay between Funkhouser and
the man who gradauted first in our class, whose name I cannot remember,
but you will know him as having got the Mental Science Fellowship; he
afterwards studied law in Baltimore and was, as you probably will recall,
the Author of some Legal Works. He held some record on the track and
also was one of our good early Foot-ball Players.

Funkhouser I still consider one of the best all around base-
ball men, that Princeton ever produced. He was our best pitcher, one of
our best catchers, and the best first baseman and outfielder that I saw
during my three years in Princeton. He played professional ball with a
St. Louis team, as an outfielder, immediately after leaving college, and
is now a doctor I beleive.

Funkhouser was known also as one of the best built men, and
one of the best men in the gymnasium in our time.

Another man who should have made his mark, was Hunt- he played
second base under me- in the Varsity Team. I beleive that had he had the
modern training, he would have been the speediest hundred yard runner
