“Dear "Spike";

I am tickled that you are going to write the article
on Goalelie

‘Now, regarding the rumors about changing the finals.
The fimals are definitely set for Kansas City, and the contract.
has been signed for the date of March 29¢ The Western WeCeAche
Playoffs will be held on March 21 and 22,

Doubtless the boys in New York thought that since
Mre Holman was President, we would move the earth, but there
are other geographical centers in the United Stetes which are

just as important as Noo Yawkd
Of course, this is off the record, Spike, and I would

not want anything said, but the dates are set and the contract
is signed, and the games will be played in our countrye

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical mducation and Recreation
Varsity Basketball Coach
