was little else I could do except to rearrange

my schedule to accommodate this new feature, Any
new date would have to be a date proximate to
January 15 in order to permit Duquesne to come to
Chicago without added expense of any great amount.
The only open date would be January 10 or ll, in
other words, Duquesne is willing to play on
January 10 or ll. We have been trying all this
time to get another opponent for DePaul for that
night, and have been unsuccessful.

It occurred to Mr. Sachs and myself
that if we were to add $200 to the guarantee al-
ready offered to you, you might find it possible
to help us°out of this dilemma by playing on
January 10 or 1l, instead of January 2. The
January 2 date is much easier to fill than the
Jamuary 10 or ll date as there are four or five
other universities that can only play on January 2.

I hope this is not all confusing to
you, but the substance of the matter is that
merely by playing in Chicago on the 10th or llth,
you will help everybody out of a very embarrassing
spot which neither Mr. Sachs, the authorities, nor
myself have any control over. I don't expect you
to make this change if it will work any undue
hardship on you. I realize that you will have to
come from Norman QOaklahoma to make the trip, but
I am hopeful that the added $200 will take care
of extra expenses.
