CARLETON COLLEGE NORTHFIELD, MINNESOTA INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS M.J. DIEBOLD, DIRECTOR April 22, 1938 Dr. Phog Allen Coach of Basketball University of Kensas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: Sinee we have been invited to participate in a basketball exhibition which will be held at Marshalltown, Iowa, December 27 and 28, I am taking this opportunity of asking you to help me get another game on this trip in view of the fact that it will be during our Christmas vacation, and since our school does not start until January 3, I would out of necessity be obliged to take care of our basketball squad during that entire time. We would like to have a game on December 30 or 31, which- ever date would fit in best with the plans of the other school. It was a real pleasure to have visited with you at the basketball meeting in Chicago, and I sincerely hope that we shall again have the privilege of seeing you at the Drake Relays in Des Moines next weekend. Whatever you suggest regarding the possibility of a game on either or both of the above dates will as you may well expect be greatly appreciated, Best wishes, and hope to see you soon. Sincerely yours, Menek Marshall J. Diebold Director of Athletics
