I think it 1s nice of Mike to show his appreciation for your and other coaches cooperation. : By the way, Louie, I am sending you one of our Jayhawk Rebounds, No. 5. Each month I get this out to the boys. I do not know whether you or the boys at Iowa State are doing anything like this, but it is something I like to do that keeps our boys informed as to the others’ _ whereabouts. When you were so kind to say the nice things you did about Eleanor it oscurred to me that I would send you this and you could get the dope on the Allen family. as : Our love to Mattie and best regards to Bob and Keith.

DY. Fe Gy Alien Basketball Coach University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Doc: I received your letter relative to polling the coaches so that we could draw up another schedule to include Kansas State. Would you accept this as an alternative idea? We have drawn up this one schedule with five schools and in many cases have arranged our nonconference schedule to fit in with:this schedule. I know this is true in my case, Kansas State has never stated that she intends to play a conference schedule; it may be she plans on playing pretty much a local schedule. J:talked with Veenk when the announcement of Kansas State came out in the paper. He felt that it was up to Mike Ahearn to contact us and said that we would wait until we heard from Kansas State before we would do anything. dust expressing my own feeling, I would say this, If Kansas State is desirous of playing each of the other schools, then we should try to fit her into our schedule. This could be handled by correspondence, between Kansas State and the other schools, rather than have another meeting and draw up a new schedule. It is up to Kansas State to start the ball rolling if she is interested in this kind of a schedule. Be glad to hear of your reactions to the above, Saw a picture of Eleanor in the Kansas City paper.

If there's ever a chance later we certainly would feel honored to have the Jays here. Since you can't come to the tournament, do you stippose there's a chance for you to play the “klahoma Aggies here sometime this winter? I know this is a little irregular, schedyling a college game through a newspaper, but I admire greatly both you and Henry Iba and I'd certainly like to see your teams together again this winter. Since it seems you might have trouble getting together in Lawrence and Stillwater, howm about a neutral site--- the auditorium here? I'm sure we could make a very attractive doubleheader out of it and there should be some money int ih for both of you.
