Dear Mr. Rutgen:

Our University of Kansas basketball team will
arrive in Chicago on Friday, January 3, at 1:15 peme on
the Rock Island. There will be fifteen men in our partys
Mr. Fred Ellsworth, our alumni secretary, is arriving in
Chicago on a later train, and would like to have a re-
servation with us. I trust that you will be able to take
care of him. |

I will room with "r. Dean Neamith, our trainer,
but in addition I would like to have a single room that
has no outside commnication where I can go for a retreat
and meet the people that I want to see without interruption.
I want no outside calls, and want no one referred to that
room. I am sure that you can take care of me very satis-
factorily.

Sincerely yours,

4 Director of Physical Education and Recreation,
