Dear Phog:

I was glad to receive your letter
yesterday and got to talk with Mr. Young a few minutes about
the possibility of making some sort of an arrangemert whereby
we could give you a little more money to play here than for us
to play there. Mr. Young suggested to go ahead and see what
arrangements we could make and then take it to our Athletic
Council.

With this set-up in mind, I am
writing you to see if you could hold a date for us in Lawrence
on December 28th, which would work in rather well provided we
play in Colorado Springs on the 26th. In the event that the 26th
date falls through we would probably prefer to play in lawrence
on the 26th inasmuch as we could hardly afford to stay over that
long on our return trip.

The dedication game here on February
10th should be a gala affair as we are having a regular carnival
of wrestling, boxing, track climaxed by a basketball game that
night. I really feel that you team would top it off and surely
appreciate your willingness to help us even though you have a
conference game on the 12th of February.

I have looked up the railroad fares
and find that the coach fare from Lawrence to Lansing is #16.52
and first class is $21.65. Lower puliman to Kensas City is $3.15
and tourist is $1.60. It is possible for you to put your team on
the train here Saturday night following the game and you would
arrive in Chicago early Sunday morning. Arrangements could pro-
bably be made to have your pullman attached to a train for Kansas
and you would not have to make any changes.

Do you feel that you department
could pay us a $300.00 guarantee to play there, and we would give
you $350.00 here with possible entertainment in the form of
Sleeping facilities at local fraternities. m
