Gentlemen: :

Lew Lane has asked mo to handle the arrangements for the Kansas-Rockhurst
game in Municipal Auditorium on Saturday night, December 11, This is the arrangement
we have made with the high schools. Shawnee-Mission and Rockhurst High will play
at 7 o'clock, and Ward High and Southwest will play at 8 o'clock. We had hoped that
the high schools could cut their time-outs te one minute, reduce the time between
quarters to one minute, and cut the half down as much as the coaches think it is safe
and desirable,

play at exactly the agreed upon time to start as a timee
game. If the officials
the line that will help,

The ticket sale arrangement for all the high schools is this: ‘the re-
presentative of the high school is to get tickets from Mr. Clyde Baker of the Muni-
cipal Auditorium. These are to be sold to high school students for 25¢ and the high
school selling them is to keep half of the amount of money as their own and the other
half is to be turned in to Mr. Baker at the Auditorium,

I talked to Mr. Reaves Peters, Commissioner of the Big Six Conference,
on Satgrday and he stated that he would work with the high school coaches and get the
two officials to work both games for $10.00 for the two games. He will also contact
Mr. Lew Lane, coach of Rockhurst, and get two college officials to work the college
game for $10.00. The game between the University and Rockhurst College will start at
9:15, so it will take teamwork from all concerned to get it going. We will ask if
Mr, Reaves Peters will use his good offices to see that the games are speeded up and
kept moving, and especially started on time. Can we not have it agreed upon that if
a team comes late for the game and does not start on time, especially the first game,
that there shall be no extension of time, but the game shall be out by quarters proe
portionately. Of course this would not affect the second game if the first team
