Hr. Reaves Peters,

Big Six Conference Commissioner,
342 So. Chelsea,

Kansas City, Ho.

Dear Reaves:

George Edwards and I talked over the phone last
night about our games in Kansas City on December 22 and 23,
and thought it would be best to have Colorado play Missouri
on Friday night, and Kansas meet Kansas State that night.
Then on Saturday night we will have Kansas vs. Missouri, and
Nebraska vs. Kansas State.

_ Sinee there is no possible way to play an elimin-~
ation tournament, with winners playing winners, and losers
playing losers, we thought our drawing power would be better
by heaving the Kansas-Missouri game on Saturday night. Missouri
has a veteran team back, end we have only one of our regulars
from last year.

We will appreciate your handling all other details,
and to supervise the games. re

I question whether we should pay the price to timers
and scorers that are paid for the NCAA games. There are many
of our boys that could do those things, and I think complimentary
tickets for their friends would suffice as payment. I would like
your opinion as to whether it is necessary to pay a high price
for this service, which is done at home without any expense, and
could be done for these games, I believe, without mich expense.

Very sincerely yours, -

Director of Physical Education,
FCA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach.
