Allen Director vhysical.sducation & Basket Ball Coach University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Phog: Your telegram received today, for which I thank you and undoubtedly under estimated the distance fom Kansas City to wast Lansing and since we could not afford to pay eight hundred dollars ($800.00), to get you on just this one geme, probably it would be better to wait until such time as you will be taking a trip this way and then we could meet your regular conference guarantee. I am now trying to get a three way switch so that Marquette can play here on rebruary 10, but do not know if I will make out. Will you advise me if it is satisfactory to have us play there that last week in vecember, with the guarantee you mentioned in your wire. Sincerely yours, 2 A van Alstyne Basket Ball Coach BFV:BB
