Dear "Phog"s

I appreciate your letter appertaining
to Basketball and feel that it would be better
for us to play you a single game on December 28,
because that date permits us to play the 26th in
Colorado and possibly the 29th or 30th in St. Louis
if we care to do so.

Our Board is like any Board, I presume,
interested in the exact number of games to be played
as well as the guarantee. While we would probably
last only one game in the tournament, there is no
way of knowing what guarantee will aceompany the
schedule when presented to the Board.

Therefore, let's tentatively agree to play
somewhere in Kansas, December 28th with the University
as our opponents. It would make no difference to us
what place it was played, as long as, the facilities
are satisfactory.

Sincerely yours,

Ben F. Van Alstyne
Coach of Basketball
