Mr. Clarence Hoff, Manager,

Kansas City, Missouri.

Dear Mr. Hoff:

Will you kindly hold February 5th for Kensse? I am
not sure that the Iowa Seahawks would be the best drawing card
for that date, but at the meeting in Kansas City of the Big Six
basketball coaches, Lieutenant Nordly was there end wes inter-
AE Sh EE 6 Ge eee

y vessel < iether Eras Bevees Patera and in epiaiual
that you had done everything that you could in getting some open
dates for our Big Six play. Had we been able te get these open
dates I am sure that we would have packed the hall if Mis» uri
and the other sshools should be granted permission. We are not
sure of the permission as yet. But some dey we will get this
across and we will pack the hall full for two nights hand-running.

| I have been endeavoring to get the Big Six exhibition
play-offs during Christmas week for several years but until Kansas
Slumped somewhat and some of the other schools come up, there are
@ few votes that I am afraid will be adverse to us. But some day
it will come and what a crowd of people will turn outs

Let me know if you are holding February Sth. ‘I am hoping

avor to play teams in Kansas City at the Auditorium on the
that are open.
