Wanted to mention something about Peterson's working a game or two for you one of these days, but decided not to as the newspaper reporter was there in the crowd. Working a ball game for you would be a big feather in the young man's hat and I can assure you Peterson would surely appreciate such a break from you.

Dear Pete: The only non-conference game that we heve scheduled at the present time is with the University of Iowa, which is at Lawrence on December 21. I doubt if Rollie Williams will be agreeable to using you as he is rather careful to pick some fellow who is supposed to be a stand-out in the conference. We may play Creighton University, of Omaha, here end if you could get Eddie Hickey to agree on you that would be fine. But again it will be about the same situation when we meet those fellows and the Oklahorm Aggies. Have you ever worked for Hank Iba? Tf so, let m lmow and I will seé@ if any of these fellows would agree upon you.

You might write to each of the coaches and ask if they feel they . oan put you on their lists to Reaves Peters. if you mow Reaves Peters well and can work with hin to ee on, it would be fine.

VARSITY BASKETBALL MEW: I notice a general lassitude on the part of some of the men who are listed in varsity basketball, Some of you are not showing up, and others are using an excuse that you are studying, The excuse for study goes not when you have coke dates or when you are en intramural athlete or a mezzanine hurdler, but you are supposed to report for varsity basketball ahead of all of these. If aman fools his time away doing other things and then uses the excuse that he has been studying, it will not go with mes Some of you think that you should report for varsity basketball only when you have nothing especially to do but to work outs I changed my basketball practice from Tuesday and Thursday afternoons to Monday and Wednesday nights so that you could participate in intramural touch football, The men who are not out for football the basketball list, if they do not report regularly Monday and nights, will be cut off the list and will not be accepted when the regular practice begins on November 2. We will then practice four or more times per week, Only those men will be taken on the varsity squad who are out for foot- ball, If you fellows who are not out for football do not report now, definitely consider yourselves not of the varsity basketball squad of 19426434 FCAsAH Basketball Coach, —_ a —_— oe a ST.
