Dear Phog:

It has been some time sinee I have had the pleasure of writing you, but I know
I have seen you a good many times since I last wrote you. However, have not
had an opportunity to see this year's basketball team in action because it was
impossible to get to the auditorium during the Christmas holidays. Some of us
hope to get up for several games this year, particularly the Oklahoma and Iowa
State games.

I was wondering if we could make some kind of a deal with you for about eight
or ten Boy Scouts to see one of the games during February. We have been having
an Inter-Patrol contest and we promised the winner a basketball game with a
Chili supper afterwards, and they prefer to come up to Lawrence to see your
team play. Our contest will not be over until February lst, so it will be
impossible to determine the winner in time to come up for the Washburn game,
and according to the printed schedule you only have two other home games,
Missouri on the 26th and Iowa State on March 3rd, and it is my impression

there there is some Big Six ruling against giving any discount on seats for

the Big Six games; however, hope this is not the case.

Most of these boys have ushered at a good many of the basketball games in
Lawrence, since our Troop ushered the last three years for basketball and
football.

If you can see any way to help on this will appreciate a note from you. In
the meantime, of course, we expect to be in Lawrence for the Oklahoma game a
week from Friday night, and of course we are all hoping that the boys will

get to clicking and take the Sooners into camp.

Yours very truly
