Mr. Join McCormick
Knexville, Iowa
Coach Knoxville High Scheol

I feel very guilty in not answering your good letter of the 2lst .
sooner. I*ve been chairman of a Community Chest drive here, and
in the rush of directing this drive and other heavy administrative
duties ZI have failed to answer your letter. Please accept ny

apologies. 2

I find that I have Nevenber 19 at Minneapolis, Kansas for an athe
- letic banquet date. On the 21st our Varsity and freshman basket-
ball teams are playing a Homecoming attraction for our homecomers
prior te the big game with Missouri here. I am wondering if any
date after the 22nd would be agreeable? Any date the woek of the
24th would suit me. We close our season on the 22nd. The follow-
ing week the boys would be free from their football duties. .

I would much rather that you set the fee. I drive a Buick. Since
the state doee not allew us anything on transportation we of course —
would have to figure in that expense. I've never been emphatic in
trying to make money out of my speaking engagements, but of course
chan « feiiee te euey Even ethos! ank Mia wick teat chonld be aen-
sidered.

Regretting that I*ve i answered your ulti sooner and trusting
it's not too late I am

a

Sincerely yours,

Direotor of Physical Education and Reereation
