Of the alternative dates that you gave us we cannot play be- tween January 5 and 12 as we are playing on the 6 and 8 and we are not permitted to play on the 11, 12 and 13 because of Religious Emphasis Week here. We are playing Missouri here on January 15 and go on a trip to play at Oklahoma, playing there on January 20 so we cannot work it in on this second alternative, the dates of January Your third set of alternative dates, February 12 and 20, are not very good because we are playing you at Lawrence on the 12, and Nebraska here on the 17 and Missouri there on the 22. You suggest as the 4 and 5 alternatives some date between March 1 and 8, or February 3. I would like to play you then, either February 3 (which you say you do not care for particularly) or Tuesday, March 5. You take your choice of either one of these dates, I have just a slight preference for the February 3 date, although either will be satis- factory. Will you lét me know before you leave this week-end as I have already notified the officials on their assignments. With best wishes, I am Syheer ly; a He A Ie EB.

I remember years ago that you were handed a schedule that was tough on your team and the home folks, and I alweys admired your attitude in accepting your schedule and playing it through without a whimper. It seems to me that in the Big Six it should be the prime object in making schedules to so arrange them that every- one should have a fair deal. If this cannot be done then they should have a new deal. I enjoyed our short visit at Lamoni, Iowa, and trust that this summer we will have an opportunity of playing a little golf with you giving me two strokes on the front nine and three on the back nine in order to make it interesting for you.
