At the time of the National Assne of Basketball Coaches meeting
in Chicago last spring we discussed the possibilities of your K. U.
basketball team making an eastern trip in the near futures 7

Does the 1939=40 season seem an appropriate time for such
a trip? I am working on the for Madison Square Garden and

Gacemruiiin WAL Sk FALURREMER eed SE vos Saw eomnaeahine & tobe :
would not like te go so far as te mike it impossible to schedule you.

We plan to run two nights in Philadelphia and three nights in the
Garden during the week between Christmas and New Year's and also will
probably have Oklahoma Aggies here on the weekend of December 16, so
there would be plenty of oppertuitty far you to make the trip without
losing any time from classese

How will your team wind up this season? We so selden get any scores
Sein your eacldak tat 1% is dftieak’ to keep Sresk /< ae If
you win the Big Six titlw will your team compete in the NCAA tournament.

Sincerely yours,
