F. C. Baccus Dear Dr. Allen:

Basketball Coach
Assistant Football Coach

Assistant Baseball Coach Please pardon my delay in answering your letter of May 6th and
Dr. LEE BROOKS May 20th to Jim St. Clair. I had just dictated a letter in answer

ie to your letter of May 6th when Jim received your letter of May 20th,
So and we have had the matter under advisement ever since.
ies We have gone into the matter from every angle; I have discussed

and Grounds it with my Athletic Committee, and we feel that $400.00 for two games

is the most that we can gamble at this time. We are very anxious to
have you play here and are willing to give you better than an even
break on an option on the gate receipts, but we do not feel that we
are in a position to make too large a guarantee. I would be willing
to give you a 60% option on the gate receipts, if that would help any.

I sincerely hope that it is possible for you to make the southern
trip and that you are able to line up some other games. As an after-
thought, however, I should like to suggest that if it is not possible
for you to make this trip, we might be interested in playing you in
Lawrence about the same dates as were suggested for the Dallas games.
We have had an invitation to play in Dodge City, Kansas, because of
Billy Dewell, and we might work out a trip that way if you are not
able to come south and are interested in having us up there.

I shall appreciate your reaction to the whole matter at your
earliest convenience.

Sincerely yours,

fu Clark
