December 5, 1944. ir. George Edwards, Varsity Basketball Coach, University of Missouri, Columbia, Mo. Dear George: we use the glass backboards for our games the 22nd end 23rd. We might have a crowd large enough to justify it, and certainly if we put the other boards up it would look as if we had not taken their convenience into consideration. T am writing the Hall to thie effect. Bven though you have lost Pippin you will still be stronger than we are. We lost to Washburn last night in a rather heetic game, so I am not sure just how we will look in conference competition. I believe we are gging to have a fine crowd. Even though our team is not up to par, the type of competition and the schools will draw the crowd, I am sure. te tire ie emyteid Salter Unk 1 om bo & Oe late the fine competition
