Dear Dr. Allen:

3 In reference to our telephone conversation of this morn-
ing, I have given considerable thought to your tentative pro-
poSal to play an early basketball date.

Cur policy here is to play our home games on the Base
each Saturday night. That would work out nicely in your case
as it would allow you to leave Lawrence on Saturday lorning
and from here on Sunday morning. We will provide two four-
teen passenger coaches to transport your players between
Abilene and the field, which is about twenty-five miles over
good roads.

In the matier of dates, would an early date on November
25 on the Base here be out of line? For a return game at
Lawrence, we can sehedule practically any date you might suggest.

Your cooperation and assistance in endeavoring to schedule
this home and home series is sincerely appreciated by the
entire military compliment of this field.

Hoping that I may hear from you Soon and with best wishes
for a successful year.

sineerely yours,

VINCENT JY HOG:
ist Lt., Air Corpeé

Physical Fitness Officer
