Department of Physical Education| University of Colorado Boulder, Colorado Oct. 2, 1944 Dr. Forrest C. Allen Director of Phy. Ed. and Varsity Basketball Voach University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Doc: Your letter of September 30th received this morning. I was in hopes that it would be possible for us to accept the dates of December 22nd and 23rd to play in Kansas City. I checked with Captain Roberts, commanding V-12 officer, and he informs me that we will have to stay within the forty-eight hour rule. Since our last game was to be played on Saturday and we could return by Sunday morning, I thought they would be more lenient with this rule but it seems that it is a ‘thot potato' and the only sefe way for the commanding officer is to stay within it. I am wondering if it would be possible for us to play in Kansas City on any one date, say December 22nd,er—December 23rd. If we could do this it means that we can satisfy the Navy re- quirement but realize this presents management problems. If such a thing would work out, I would appreciate your letting me know at your earliest convenience as we have a conference basketball schedule meeting coming up October 16th. Thanking you for your letter and with very best wishes, I Sincerely yours, FBCse -
