— ' 1940 ;

Dear Dr. Allen:

Acknowledging your letter of March 15 with reference to the
last paragraph in your letter regarding the
University of Colorado team coming in on the 19th
wish to advise receipt of telegram from Mr. Walter
B. Franklin, New York City advising us to cancel
seservation made for Colorado Basketball team as
he had made reservations before he left Boulder
and asking us to furnish you with this information.

We have not had definite information as to how many teams are
going to make reservations except that the University
of Southern California wrote in last week and have
reserved rooms for them.

It so happens that during this week our hotel is booked to
capacity by the Missouri Valley Electric Association
convention, therefore, it is just as well with us
that the Colorado team had made their reservations.
I am sure they can get the same rate in fact this
morning when I received your letter I talkej to the
Phillips Hotel to see if they could take care of
one of your teams, in case we would not have vacant
rooms, they advised me they would be glad to at the
same rate.

I presume that this will be satisfactory and hope that it will
not be necessary to send any of your teams else where,
but I am simply protecting ourselves so they will
have no trouble in getting accomodations, teo Fhe
Phillips is only one block from the Hotel Continental
and accomodations will be nice there,
