Dear Dr. Allen:

A special delivery air mail letter was just
sent to Ev, Shelton at Wyoming telling him about the
possible arrangements for games in the Auditorium. He
was urged to join us in double headers in the Auditorium
with the dates of December 22 and 23 preferred.

I have requested him to wire a reply to me
in Kansas City by next Wednesday if possible. For fear,
this being normal vacation time, that Ev may be delayed
a few days in reading my letter I have told him to send
his decision to you if he can't answer by Wednesday. You
see I will be hopping around a good deal between the 17th
and September 1 and will be rather hard to find during
that period, and I am leaving matters in your hands until
I am back in Columbia.

After thinking over this proposal I find myself
much in favor of the December 22nd and 23rd dates partly
because they fall in vacation, and partly because I think
better crowds will be attracted. The strictness with which
our committee views the missing of classes makes it necessary
that I confer with Mr. Shirkey before I could be certain of
December 15 and 16 in the event that Wyoming wants the earlier
dates. In other words, I am inclined to close with the hall
for the 23rd and 24th and hunt for another team if Shelton
can't come at that time.

Should Shelton send me word before I leave here
I'll notify you immediately, and also will tell Peters and
Mr. Hoff or Baker at the Auditorium. In case Shelton writes
to you and accepts will you attend to the notifications,
please ?

Yours truly,

George R./fdwards.
