“Mr. Reaves Peters, Commissioner,

Big Six Conference,
242 So. Chelsea,

I have just talked to George Edwards over long distanc

December 15 and 16. The fact that Bruce was interested in the

would look bad
fhe primary reason for calling George was to get his opin-
ion on the sehools that we should olose with. ie have Frosty's Colorado

team practically set for the 25rd. Pepperdine has written me and I think
we sould get thane Cliff Rock of Denver also wrote me, and I wanted to
see which George preferred. I heartily agreed with him when he decided

would make Missouri, Kansas State and Kansas, and if we get Denver
for Friday night end Colorado for Saturday night, our worries are over.
I will kmew in a few days.

I have told Mr. Hoff, the manager of the Auditorium, that
we would take the 22nd amd 23rd and that Bruce Prake would handle all
arrangements for the 16th, and that the 15th would be open.

I also asked George regarding officials and he stated
that Lance and Parke Carroll would be very satisfactory, as would
Oberhelman. So far as I am concerned lance is agreeable. I think
Oberhelman is good enough to bring in for one game if we can't get him
for both. I am speaking now of the 22nd and 25rd. He might break away
for the two games on those dates if we would put it up to him in the right
way. What do you think?

Sincerely yours,
