Dear Dr. Allen:

Thanks for your Big Six schedule. Oklahoma
and Kansas State have not yet replied to my request. As
soon as they do I'll type up the composite list. This
voluntary anél unofficial effort, however, already has
corrected an@ error for Nebraska and clarified a sit-
uation for Menze. :

Your letter of the 9th, followed by editorials
by C. E. McBride in the Star, apparently closes the door
on the suggestion that we join with you in entertaining
the service teams in the Auditorium. The plan was heartily
endorsed by managers of both Navy squads,and by a number
of mutual friends in Kansas City, but sifce it does not
meet your approval it must have been a dud.

I am sorry if our scheduling the Great Lakes
team here on January 29th put a crimp in some of your
plans. Cook proposed games with us when I met him at
your Great Lakes game last winter, and repeated the

_ suggestion at the N.C.A.A. gamese Hinkle was supplied
with our open dates and made the selection of the 29th.

Soon afterwards I heard that you were working
for a double header series with the Navy teams and
Oklahoma A & M, This rumor was verified by you in your
letter of the 9th, and you state that we wrecked such
negotiations by taking on Great Lakes on that date.

Believing that the substitution of Missouri for
Iba's crew might fill the bill I proposed that we move
our two games in with yours,and Snyder and Hinkle both
sent favorable replies. I ‘am somewhat at a loss to explain
to myself why Missouri wouldn't be acceptable unless you
feel that we would be such a poor drawing card that we
wouldn't earn our share of the cute

if that is true, then I am still more confused
by your counter proposal that Kansas and Missouri ask
conference consent for a non=championship game in K. OC.
