Allen Director of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Phog: As you probably have read in the newspapers, we are pretty much in the air here at the Ayditorium, and so far don't know what the outcome will be.

Since we already have reached agreement, it seems to me that the best course would be for us to enter into a contract on the agreed basis in giving you an option on the dates that we are holding for you. If this plan is satisfactory to you, let me know right away, and I will shoot a contract up to you, With kindest personal regards, I am Very gincerely yours, ECZ/DS Eugengé\C. Zachman, Mer.
