Dear Governor Payne,

I am happy indeed to send you a mimeographed copy of our
basketball schedule for this winter. We de not have our
printed schedules as yet, and: if and when we do I will send
you a supply of them. I consider this a great compliment to
our basketball team in that you have asked for our dates.

We appreciat it very much.

I noticed in the paper this morning that you will be down for
the Kanses State game. I know how busy you will be so we will
just say “hello” to you at a distance. Our very best to Mrs.
Ratner and your three fine kiddies.

By the way, our Varsity and Freshmen ere playing a game at 8:15
Friday night, Nov. 21. This is a part of the Homecoming festivi-
ties and if you want to ses a real bang-up game and should happen
to be down for the Homecoming we will be happy to have you. Tell
Mrs. Ratner and the children that this will be a good ball game be-
cause Mit Allen is coaching the Freshmen and he says he is going
to beat the old gent. I thought perhaps the femily might be down
for some part of the festivities and if they were we would be happy
to have you.

Anyhow, we will open up against the University of Oklahoma on
Jan. 6 in our conference games and we will try to make Mr, Tucker
sorry that he went to Oklehoma. Of course our first game at home
is with Denber University on December 17, so we will be looking
for you.

With all good wishes I am

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education and Recreation
Fca/pg Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach
