Dear Phog:.

We have finally began arranging our basketball schedule for this com-

as I have told you previously. It will be a Home and Home arrangement,
one game to be played in Lawrence and the other in Olathe.

As you most likely know, we now have a much larger playing court and
better facilities. Hope to hear from you as soon as possible in this
regard and wish you would send us tentative dates preferable to be
played after the holiday season. Thank you. I remain,

Dear Marty:

I find that the Christmas holidays begin at the University
on December 18. We have a game scheduled away from home on
December 18, but we could play you in Lawrence on December 15.

We have conflicting dates in that the auditorium is used,
go it is rather difficult to get in here on a great choice of
dates. I would appreciate it if you could make December 16th
here definite.

I am putting down January 18 for the game at Olathe because
we are playing Oklahoma here on January 22. There is just one
tentative angle in this 18th of Jauuary date, <iue to the fact
that the Kensas Aggies have now decided to play basketball and
I look for a directive from the athietic directors celling us
together to make an entirely new Big Six achedule.

- We are not permitted to close any playing iates during the
basketball conference seangon until the conference schedule is

date. Won't you write me your confirmation?

with all our opponents.

There is a curtain raiser, between two troop teams, that night, but they
will be off the court in plenty of time for the varsity teams to warm up.

I am very sorry that I will be unable to see you and be at the game, but
have orders to mecessitate my being away-e Captain Erskine will be in charge
of the details, and Sergeant Stangle will be in charge of the team.

Also advise what guarantee you could offer if we played you only

Our publicity office has gone on vacation
since the start of the war. I realize tkat I
should kave sent you some material but I have
been away since before Xmas and only returned
last night.

I do not have a regular from last years
team but dg have three reserves who lettered.
They are: GDale Conner a dr. who lettered at
suard. Andy Bertuzzi a Jr. who lettered at
guard and Wilbur Humpkries a Soph who lettered
at forward. Jim ee a starting forward, F
was on the squad the first semester last’ year.

All of our men are members of the Naval
V-12 unit and all of the remainder of the squad
are from out of our normal territory. Raymond
Sloan a Sr has played a couple of seasons as reserve
center at Emporia State. Haherer has been a starting -
forward for us but: could not make the varsity squad
at West Texas State. John Clardy lettered as a
forward at Abeline Christian College but may not
get to make the trip to Lawrence Monday as ke is at
the present time on the "Tree".@/Hollis is from some
small high school in New Mexico and is a Fr. I may
have to take Ralph Earhart from Texas lech who has
never played basketball before and Dave Ryan Trom
Hardin Simmons but he never played any basketball
there.

In the three games that we have played we won
from tke 800th Regiment from Camp Crowder 44-39
and lost to Arkansas at Fayettevillel2-37 and to
the 16th Armoured Division team from Camp Chaffee
at Ft. Smith57-46. Our boys have all been kome
