Mr. A. 0. Duer,

Coach of Basketball,
George Pepperdine College,
1121 West 79th St.,

Los Angeles 44, Calif.

Dear Coach Duer:

We have a set up in the Mmicipal Auditorium in Kansas
City for December 22 and 25 with Missouri, Kansas State and Kansas
playing double headers each night, but we have arranged for the
University of Colorado to come in on December 25, Saturday night.

We doubtless could use you on Friday, December 22.
You would play one of the three teams, the other two playing each
other in the double header. On Saturday night we would use Colorado
in that spot as we have previously agreed.

I am sorry that we did not hear from you earlier because
we could have used you both Friday and Saturday nights to have com-
pleted our foursome. With your plans for the Oklahoma City trip and
your appearance in Kansas City, I believe it would not be difficult —
for us to arrange another game for you somewhere in this territory.
The arrangement that we have with these teams playing is that they
shall pay their ow expenses and the out will be four ways after the
rental of the hall is taken care of. Colorado is coming in under
that basis. Would you be willing to do the same?

It has always been our experience with Kansas and Missouri
P in a foursome that they have done exceptionally well, and I
believe all teams would come in for a good out. Would you be willing
to entertain this idea? | |

Sincerely yours,

So Director of Physical Education,
- POA Varsity BasketbellCoach.
