Dear "Phog"™:

Our athletic council held their monthly
meeting yesterday and I presented my tentative
basketball schedule to them showing two options
on our Christmas trip one of which was to return
by the southern route playing Colorado, Kansas,
etce and the other showing two games in Oregon which
carried a $800.00 guarantee. The council decided
that they would play the Oregon games, inasmuch as
we are only allowed eighteen games and to play
additional numbers would require special faculty
action. I believe that we could have gotten this
action but we were a little hazie on what arrange-
ments would be made for contests on December 29
and 350 following the game between Kansas and Michigan
State. Neither Mr. Kemper of the Topeka Daily Capital
nor Mr. Holm wrote me as you suggested they would and
consequently it seems that all our work has been in
vain relative to getting together.

I surely do appreciate your fine cooperation
in helping you work out a trip and you can count on
me going to the limit for you at any time that you
might be taking a trip through this section.

Very sah Peete,

Ben F. Van si koes a
Coach of Basketball
