Dear Ev:

I am afraid we are in a little difficulty with your game.
Bruce Drake called me and when I told him that Kansas did not want to play
on the 16th and 16th, because it would be too difficult to arrange games
when Oklahoma did not want to pley Kansas or any other conference members,
he said, “Well, I will take it over, then, and *. wade arrange it.” So I
have turned over the dates to hime

want to play on the 15th. The fact that we are playing Rockhurst College
in Kansas City on December 12th, and then playing again on December 22
and 23, prompted me to the opinion that should we go in on the 15th and
16th it would appear to our Big Six brothers that Kansas was overdoing
The Bannan Gity date angle.

I was endeavor ing to arrange a schedule for the four dates,
December 15 and 16, and 22 and 23, because I promised the coaches of the
Big Six that we would keep these dates open and the Auditorium has been
ho] them, so I felt to keep faith with everybody we should arrange the
schedule for these dates. But now since Bruee has taken it over, you
doubtless will hear from him.

For our 22nd and 23rd dates we have tentatively scheduled
Frosty for the 23rd and we are looking for someone for the 22nd. Perhaps
Wyoming and Kansas oan get together in Kansas City in a pair of games
next year or where four college tears are playing..

I thank you for your kind expressions, and I assure you I
am definitely interested in building the game of basketball. While every
individual normally looks to his own interests, yet he must be unselfish
enough to allow the other fellow some latitude.

- With all good wishes, I am

Sincerely yours,

_ Director of Physical Education,
FOCA:AH . Varsity Basketball Coach.
