June 9, 1945. Myr. Veo J. Green, Athletics Direotor, Drake University, Des Moines, Iowa. Dear Vee: Your letter of March 2nd has not been by-passed, I assure youe I have had so many confounded wer activities that my basketball work has suffered perceptibly. I would not want to play Drake a game the day be- fore the Iowa State game, and with our Navy personnel we are n mitted to be gone two days. I don’t see how we can it at the present time, Vee. I haven't made out my sched~ ule as yet, only for our Big Six games. But a single trip would take practically all the expense money, and since the emphasis is on class attendance, perhaps we had better wait until after the war. What do you think? Lote of good luck to you. ' Sincerely yours, / Director of Physical Education, FCA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach.
