THE RICE INSTITUTE HOUSTON, TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS August 29th, 1938. Dr. Forrest C. Allen, Director of Physical Education, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas. Dear Dr. Allen: Your letter of August 4th, in regard to the University of Kansas meeting Rice Institute during the latter part of December, has been received and the matter discussed with Buster Brannon our new Basketball Coach. Buster feels that inasmuch as he is new here he should have more time to work with our boys before playing against a team as high in competition as the University of Kansas. Thank you very much for considering us and I hope that at some later date we may have the opportunity of meeting. Yours very truly, eo RICE ATHLETEC ASSOCIATEO e a i _Aaylora Johnson _ BuSiness Manager of Athletics GJ:cem
