Dear Phog:

On our Eastern trip this year, we are playing Purdue on December
22 and I cannot leave Los Angeles until December 18. I find that
I can be in Lawrence at 6:23 on the evening of December 20.

Would it be possible to arrange a work-out at your gymnasium on
that date? In fact, we might have an informal scrimmage.

I will heve to get out of there the same night at 9:20. We will
be ready to go directly to the gym on our arrival and we will
have to leave again an hour before train time. I-am very anxious
to have some kind of a work-out en route to Purdue and I would
appreciate it very much if we could arrange an informal scrimmage
or at least have the use of your gym on thet evening.

I would appreciate an early reply so that I may definitely set
up my schedule. Wishing you the best of suecess this year and
kindest personal regards.

Sincerely yours,

Dear Dr. Allen:

I have been out of the office, a little under the

sooner in answer to your fine letter of October él.

There is positively nothing to forgive, Dr. Allen.
I am always glad to shake your hand, but you were busy
and there was no thought in my mind that you had been
discourteous in the least. On the other hand, I should
thank you for the very fine address that you gave. I
am sorry I did not get to hear all of it. John Jacobs
remarked to me later that he felt “put on the spot" to
have to follow you. I may say, however, that Mr. Jacobs
did himself proud.

My dear "Phog";

Is it against the Big Six rules to have some practice sessions
in basketball? We would not need to play a game--just practice
for a couple of hours or Ss0-.

I would like to have two such sessions, but in case that could
not be arranged, one would do a lot of good.

Since I am not coaching football this year, I am in a position
to start basketball earlier, and will be able to put up some
sort of opposition within a couple of weeks from now.

If this sounds good, let me hear from you.

Very truly yours,
