K.'d him and Heinie, but if he ever talked to me about it, I was in a state of coma or something else, for I have no memory of it. The father and son combination may be all right--I have never observed its sheep oped For this game, however, I do not want to suggest we use the two of them. Put E. ¢. with any one of the following, or else get any two of the follow- ing: Kemper, Ab Hinshaw, O'Sullivan, or Carroll. I met my squad last night for the first time, and itll swear I don't see where any "B" team is coming from. Only six freshmen reported.

We will steam up the game, making people believe it might be another close one, It will be our first game, so no one will: know whether we are strong or not. Very truly yours ¥ & E, 3. Liston Athletic Director ESL:1h October 19, 1937. Mr 2 Emil Se Liston, Athletic Director, Baker University, Baldwin, Kansas, Dear Eni: ! i am hardly in a position to elose for December 15 at the present time. If we played you in Lawrence we would be glad to give you half of the cash gate that we take in that evening, Of course, we would not want to cout the student tickets es this would be an extra gam, and there is nothing that we get from the student ticket on these extra games. The tickets are sold to the students for $1.50 for the eight or ten games that | we have each year, The Jay Janes, a vep organization, gets 10%, or 15¢ from each $1.50, for selling the tickets, So you see, there isn't anything left when the money is broken up into so many fragmonts. Frankly, I believe the people would come out for this gam, ani if we would play on the 13th we would have three games hand running here in Lawrence that week, ‘We play Southwestern the 14th, Morningside the 15th, and Washburn the 16th at Topeka. I believe if we consider other close games the public will turn out in good shape. We could give you a cash guarantee of $25.00 or $30.00 with an option of 50% of the cash gate, As you know, we are playing Doane College on the 6th and Ottawa on the 7th, both here in Lawrences. Zt am doubling up a lot of cellege games with an idea of finding out what 1 really have. ile lost Wellhausen, Holliday, Rogers and Noble out of our first five, having only Praile left, so I will have to get busy with what material I have to make a decent showing against a lot of other teams, I will be glad to have your reaction.
