December 4, 1942.

Me. Arthur Morse,
10 Se. leSalle st.,
Chicago, Illinois.

Dear Art:
I wired you last night as follows:

"Complications have arisen which make our game doubtful.
Waited unbil practice period today before I wired
ance to another proposition. My letter follows. Sorry.
Regards. ;

Porrest C. Allen."

On Jenuary 16th we are committed to play Camp Crowder or
Neosho, Missouri, in the Municipal Auditorium, Kansas City.
We were to play a double header, playing the Leavenworth Re-

out. However, the Camp Crowder people still want to play
of Oe ee ee
our geme and going to Chicago to play another.

When I wkred you I was under the impression that Camp
want to hold us to this game. I wrote them
and tried to make satisfactory explanations, but it is my con-
viction that a would not amicably release us. Therefore,
we would be put in a very bad light with the armed service to
aktempt any further abandonment of that game unless they
would cheerfully releast us. In light of thie fact I believe
that we will have to decline the invitation with you.

We had several propositions, one to play in Cleveland with
Great Lakes, which would not be a college attraction, but the
other game was in St. Louis on January 1 on the way back from
New York. All of this time, since I have commmicated with
you, I have endeavored to be released from the 16th, but seeing
that that was hopeless I accepted the January 1st date which
would be filled on our way returning from New York.
