Dear Phogg:

I tried to call you on the telephone this morning
but they said you would be out of town until late today.

I have been interested in basket ball since the
days only a few years ago (36) when you refereed our local high
school games, I have a boy who is a junior on the first five at
Shawnee Mission under Coach Reed, and this winter I have been taking
moving pictures of their games. ;

I assume that you probably have had movies taken
of your different games, but I felt that if Coach Reed could have
a complete movie of this game the 18th against the Oklahoma Aggies,
it would be very helpful to him and his future teams.

The reason I am writing you and tried to call you is
that I want to be sure to get three seats in the front row in the
center in the loge balcony which will enable me to place a couple
of short tripods and have two cameras set up, one with telephoto
lens, so that I can get a complete movie of the entire game. My
wife will operate one camera and I the other, and my son will
occupy the third seat. If the pictures turn out good, you may
want a duplicate made of this game.

I am enclosing my check for $9.00 to pay the expense
of these three tickets. Now, Phogg, if it is impossible to get
three seats in the loges, then three seats in the box in the center
would be satisfactory. I hated to bother you but I didn't know
who to contact other than you.

If for any reason you cannot get these seats for me
I will appreciate your wiring me collect at my office.

I know that you are interested in the present high
school teams because many of these boys will be attending K.U.>
