I am wondering if it would be possible for you to play us before that time. Basketball has not drawn very well here in Fort Worth for the -dagell plage years, and we will be ing fé_ you a substantial guar- antee, but if 5 will let me have some idea of the amount which you would have to have in order to play here, and also let m know about the dates, I will be glad to go into it further with you.

Allen Director of Physicé@l Education Lawrence, Kansas Dear Mr. Allen: Received your letter in regard to the basket ball game for next year. You asked what guarantee we could afford to give you here. Our crowds down in this section are not to compare with the crowds up there, and the guarantee would be smaller. I would say about $100.00 to $150.00 would represent our net gate for the game, and we could not afford to guarantee any more than that. In regard to the game there the following year, we had not contemplated a game in that section in 1939, but if we do decide to make a trip, we would be glad to arrange a game with you at that time.

Allen Basketball Coach University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: I regret very mich that I have been unable to give you a definite answer relative to the University of Kansas playing here during the pre-Christmas holidays. You know, we do not go in very strong for Basketball at the A & M College. It is somewhat of a minor sport here and the committee does not think at the present time that they could entertain cis during that particular period. However, I have noticed that you are playing Texas University and then Southern Methodist with a couple of vacant dates between said games. If you do not fill these two dates let me know and I'll see what I can do for you. I have watched the success of your teams for the past number of years and I am always happy to see Kansas on the long end of the score which seems to be a habit you have well founded in the playing minds of your boys. You are to be congratulated on the wonderful success and record that you have made during your long term of coaching. Wheat is the date that you have your coaching school at Kansas this summer?

Allen Director of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Mr. Allen: "Nibs" Price has showed me your letter of July 6th concerning the possibilities of three basketball games in December 1939. Our plans for that season at the present time are somewhat indefinite and there is a possibility that we may again make a trip to the Middle West similar to the one which we made last Decem- ber. However, this is very much in the future and for the present at least I would like to consider the games you suggest as a definite possibility for 1959. Our ideas on the subject will be considerably more definite before the end of the fall and if it is possible to work anything out I would like very much to do it. truly, e nnet rie$’tley General Manager, A.S.U.C.
