HEADQUARTERS PHYSICAL TRAINING DIRECTOR ARMY AIR BASE HERINGTON, KANSAS 18 October 1943 Dr. Forrest C. Allen Varsity Basketball Coach, University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: Your kindletter of 16 October received. I thank you sincerely for the ppportunity of extending an invitation to play at Lawrence on 1 December. While I agree with you that this date is early, I see no reason why we can not accept it. Accordingly I am entering this game for 1 December on our schedule and presume it will be played at night. I hardély know what suggestions to offer you in regards to a home game here but if you de- sire to play one early in the season, may I sug- gest the dates of Tuesday 14 December, or Friday 17 December? In closing allow me to again express my appreciation of your generous cooperation in ar- ranging this December first game and hope that we can arrive at a mutually satisfactory date here. With best wishes for a successful season. VINCENT J. HOG end Lt., Air Corps Physical Training Officer
