Basketball Coach,

Columbia, Missouri.

Dear George:

Thanks for your two good letters. I appreciate your remarks and
assure you that any time Missouri plays in Kansas City, so far as
Kansas is concerned, we want to be on the bill. You are very un-
selfish to offer to do the things that you do, but I would not hear
to that.

I am writing Frosty Cox today and enclosing a copy of my letter
herewith, asking if he would like to go in on the games on December
22 and 23 with Missouri, Kensas State and Kansas. If he does we ,
will consider that our foursome is all made up and begin to plug
the publicity.

- Wheat I am also trying to do, George, is to arrange some games for
‘the 15 and 16. You remember Bruce and the Pre-Flighters want to
piay on the 16th, and Bruce is not interested in the 15th. So it
may be that we cannot arrange the 15th and 16th deals, but I am
planning on Missouri being with us as well as Kansas State on the
22nd and 23rd.

Regarding the discussed difficulties with Frosty, the only diffi-
culty I ever had with Frosty was when he scoured the State of Kansas
for his Colorado basketball team. He did not do it one year, but
repeatedly. I never object to retail proselyting, but when it comes
to wholesale I think that is rather out of place, especially when
one state goes into the other in a consistent and strenuous manner.

With all good wishes, I am

Very sincerely yours,

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