Dear Doc:

Just received word from Lieut. MCDermott of the Iowa Pre-flight
school that he is being transferred and will be unable to

work in your game with Iowa State at Ames on Jan. 29th. I

have toflay ass igned Bud Knox to that game. The otner official
will be Fred Winter. You will remember I told you something

of Bud some time ago. His game up there with Missouri iast
night was his first for Iowa State but he has workediin the
Missouri Valley for some time. He is an old baseball player;
caught of the Pittsburg Pirates I believe. He was a star athlete
at Des Moines University way back. They teli me ne has iowts:s

oi courage and is a consistent oificial.

Was unabie to get up for your Oklahoma game Friday night but
trom all reporis it was a greai daeiensive vattie.

Have you given any consideration to cnanging the date of your
game with Missouri, at Lawrence, to Feb. 25th. I believe it
would be ok with Missouri and it would help all the Kansas City
fans that want to see that game and the Indoor Track Meet. The
meet had to be scheduled for the 26th. since that was the only
date available at the Auditorium. What do you think?.

Had planned on seeing your game at Ames this coming Saturday
but our schedule here won't permit it. Will be probably be
in Lsncoln for your game there Feb. 19th.

Sincerely yours,
ee CO oe SQ
Re E. Pevers
P.S. A Lieut. from the Naval Base at Norman was given a game

down there but was transferred a few days before the gag.
Don't believe it will pay to ever give them consideration.
