Dear Mr. Allen:

I shall be very glad to play you in basketball, but

it is impossible for us to play you at that time as

our school will not be in session. We are not permitted
to play during the Christmas Holidays when no students
are in school.

We should like to hear from you in case you happen to
be in this part of Texas sometime in the future in
order that we may be able to get together on 4 game.

Hoping that I may see you at some Coaching School during
the summer, I am

Sincerely yours

‘Dear Jims:

Your letter of April 17, regarding games with Kansas
University is the only communication which I have ree
ceived from you regarding this matter. Your other
letter must have gone astray as I never received it.

I am not able to tell you, at the present, anything
definite regarding a Kansas basketball game in Wacoe
We will go to the Oklahoma City Tournament in December,
which will begin on the 26th or 27th of December. I
- do not know at the present time on what day our Christ-
mas holidays will begin, but I imagine that school will
let out on the 2lst, and as I always turn my boys loose
for a few days to go home, we will not be able to play
them from the 2lst ome I do not think that I would went
to meet that strong a team in December as my boys would
not be in very good shape, and we certainly would not
be ready for a game with a team of the calibre as
Kansas U.

It is possible that I may be able to work out something
at a later date, and I will certainly do it if I can.
Sincerely yours,

therefore L want you to let me know if you are in-

terested on a tour to Old México City in the second

The guarantee you would inquire for, will
be perfectly assured in a bank or in the American

Dear Fellows:

The first official call for assembly and conference
of the Kansas Basketball Squad is next Monday evening, October 3,
at 7:30 peme in room 206 Robinson Gymnasium,

This is the set-up for practice -- For the boys who
work in the afternoon or who are engrossed in intramural football
play we will meet in the evening three times a week, preferably Mon-
day, Tuesday and Thursday. For the boys who are free to practice in
the afternoon we will meet at 3:30 peme on Monday, Tuesday and Thurs-~
day afternoon, If for any reason it is necessary to change these
dates we will discuss that at our conference.

We are insisting that every boy have a physical examine
ation at the University Hospital. This will be necessary befare
scrimmage can take place. I have just talked with Dre R. I. Canutesen,
Director of Student Health Service, and he very kindly stated that he
would oxamine you fellows beginning at 9:30 in the mornings. It will
be necessary for cach one of you to get in touch with the student
hosp@#tal to make your appointments. Perhaps if your schedule is full
for the morning Dr. Canuteson can arrange to take you at some other
period, at his convenience. But remember «- it is necessary for you
to clear that health examination hurdle before you can report actively
for basketball.
Lee

The meeting .on Monday night will be brief, It will
be merely a discussional meeting so that we may all understand
each other. And in that connection I might parenthetically add a
friendly warninge You will recall ene of our many daily admonitions
on the athletic bulletin board down in the dressing room. It ran
something like this: “You cannot fly with the owls at night and
keep up with the eagles in the day time."

Already there has been some misconception on the part
of our squad men this fall, I am not speaking of the encoming
sophomeres, I am referring to some of the older men on the squads»

I knew some of you fellows think that you can drink and get away
with it, but it won't work this year. Romember, I am not taking you
off the squad, but you are actually decapitating yourselves.

Seme of you fellaws have spoken to me that you are in
dead earnest about making a great showing this year, and then when
the season barely starts you "put on a | ", Just remember that
Lawrence has a population of only 16,00 » ven the world is small
nowadays, isn't it, boys?

Assuring you that I am decidedly partial to boys who
train and want to go places, I am, with no malice toward any of you
but with a firm resolve to play the men who want most to play,
