Dear Mr. Allen:

I have your letter of December 3, regarding
your basketball team.

It is perfectly all right to house the team
at the Robert E. Lee, because there is no
difference in the set up whether they are at
the State or the Lee.

We are, therefore, reserving space for twenty
of your boys at the Robert E, Lee for the
nights of December 12, 22, and 23. This will
consist of six twin bedded rooms at a rate of
$2.00 per man and four double rooms at a rate
of $1.50 per man.

I want you to know at either hotel we appreciate
your business and shall do everything we can to
make your players comfortable. Looking forward
to seeing you again, Iam,

ordjally yours,

doing everything possible to bring this about.

i If it is not possible for Coach Cox to have the
floor around 10 or 11, will you please write him at the Univ-

the floor? We will come in after limch and might want to u

it for a very short while.

and Coach Edwards we will let you know which ones to erect.

I am ordering the tickets today as you suggested.
I will get the high school tickets vrinted and when the coaches
come in will let them have them to sell.

Very sorry about Tom Dorney of Ward High. It was just
one of those things that hannen;*in fact, I don't even remember
it. This year I will talk with Tom and in some way make up
the difference of whet he lost on the other sale.

I will weit until I hear from you egain on the 22nd,

Dear Clyde:

Certainly the prices we charged last year will be
quite satisfactory. So you set up the same deal that you had for
Rockhurst.

We are asking Shawnee-Mission and Rockhurst High to
play « preliminary game, and @ will want that 257 ticket proposition
for the high school students, I am writing Harold Reade, coach of
Shawnee-Mission, and Lew Lane, of Rockhurst, telling them to see you
ee ee ee ee

And remeber that the high schools get fifty per cent
of the sale of those tickets. A year or so ago Tom Dorney of Ward
High forgot to collect his fifty per cent. He turned it all in and
lost 1% all, and 1 don't want to take advantage of these people.

Now, for our double headers on the 22nd and 25ra of
December. I have got it all set up, and since we have not given out
any publicity on it as yet, what I am telling you is confidential.
We are going to have Nebraska on Saturday night, and and Colorado on

I think we will alse arrange some high school prelimin-
the 22nd and 23rd, but since we have only the single

should be lees than for our double headers on the 22nd and 23rd.
