Dear Sir:

Camp Crowder is putting a Post Basketball Team on the floor again
this year. It is my understanding that in 1942 your University team
played the Post Team at Camp Crowder.

We are trying to bring good basketball teams to the post for the
amusement of the soldiers. It is my thought that you might be travelling
through this area in the course of your basketball trips. If this is
true and it is possible for you to stop over to play a game at Camp
Crowder, we will appreciate having you.

It is not felt that we will play you “to your amazement" as we
did in 1942. However, we have a good team and we feel that we can _
give you an interesting game.

We are willing to give you a guarantee of two hundred dollars
($200.00) for your appearance here, If you are willing to play us,
but find the arrangements unsatisfactory, please write, and we will do
our best to make arrangements that are satisfactory to you.

Thank you for any consideration you give this matter.

Yours truly,

a ok Hiss
