Dear Phog?:

I have delayed in answer ing your letter due to some
rumors which were making the rounds relative to Wichita
University participation in basketballe However, I have
Since learned that the school will not be repre sented
in basketballe

But we do want your Kansas basketball team to show
down here.

I talked to Bruce Drake some time back regarding a
game here and he said he would like to play here very muche
Would you be interested in playing Oklahoma here ? +f not,
would it be possible to play a defense plant team?

3 We will have at least three good clubs here and they
could play an elimination series for the right to meet KahsaSe
Such a game would draw a capacity crowd at good prices. Then,
if your team is successful against the d.p. organization we
could match Kansas with Oklahoma, or some such an arrangemente
But please remember that we want Kansas down hereée

I missed the Washburn game simply because the train was
loaded to capacity.

Marvin Sollenbeger is playing with George Gardner's Boei
team. li that club should win the series the draw would be ©
terrifice

Kindly let me hear from you regarding these matterse

i certainly appreciate your es in re
game a US
