Dear Docs

Congratulations on your splendid victory over Louie. I know
it was a tough one for him to lose, but from all accounts of the game
your boys appeared to be the aggressors in the stretch and after all
that is what counts.

In view of the fact that Eddie Hogue is the first alternate for
our game in Lawrence March 7, I think we had better stick to these
assignments so long as it is possible . At the time I called you re=-
garding a replacement for Hyatt in our game at Norman, I had written 4
Mr. Hogue, our first alternate, and he was unable to work this game
because of a schedule conflict. Moe Pressly was the second alternate,
and he resides in Omaha, Nebraska. When we get that far down the list
of alternates very little thought or time is given as to their ability,
because previous to this year we had very few changes in our original
assignments. Because of Pressly's locality and the cost of bringing
him here to Norman, I called you long distance to see if we could agree
on a official that was located closer to Norman and save us both a little
mone ye

I think it is wise that in our game in Lawrence, March 7, that we
stick to our original agreement on alternates to fill #32 in this gap.
left by Hyatt. We have as the first alternate Hogue, Pressly and Larson
in that order. Of course if they can not work,the next one down the
line is agreeable with me.

I will be in Lawrence tonight to see your Missouri game at which
time we can settle this matter. I would also appreciate a scout ticket
for this game.

Give my regards to Bob and your wife and best of luck to you until
March 7.
