October 1, 1943. Mr. Lou Lane, Basketball Coach, Rockhurst College, Kansas City, Mo. Dear Lou: I have a letter from Clarence Hoff informing me that you are working on a basketball team for this winter. I hope it will be possible for us to have a game with you _ in Kansas City at the Municipal Auditorium, and then later if you could come to Lawrence we could play a game here. ' Regardless of the outcome of the game in Kansas City, I feel sure we would have a good crowd here, but I believe this should be the second game. What do you think of this possibility? And if you _ Gan suggest possible dates I would be glad to have those.

I am ato ee this date for you as well as the evenings t of December 28th, 2 h, and 30th,1945.

Dear terol’: We are playing a foursome in Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City on December 29 and 30 -- Kansas, Missouri, Kensas State and Washburn University. Reaves Peters is handling it, and I have suggested to him that we. have some high school games preliminary to our games each evening. We would be de- lighted to have your team, and I have told him of your desire to play again. Hope you can arrange it. Sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education, PCA :AH Varsity Basketball Coach. December 16, 1945. Mr. Reaves Peters, 342 So. Chelsea, Kansas city, MO« Dear Reaves: - I am happy with the arrangement that we have made with Wash- burn. I have asked Dee to fire ina lot of licity with pictures and we will do likewise. And with Missouri and Kansas State shoot- ing in a lot of publicity I think we will have a great crowd. I wouldn't raise the prices too high; perhaps the price we had for the Rockhurst game might be all right, but I would let Clyde Baker decide that. And by the way, Reaves, Shawnee-Mission wants to play agein at the first opportunity. Why couldn't we have some high school teams play at 6:45 each evening preliminary to our game? That would take care of four different high schools. If some of the Missouri high schools want tc play you arrange it; suppose we have two Kansas and two Missouri high schools - any way you see fit. And why wouldn't it be a good idea to sell those high schools fifty cent seats for 25 cents like we did before, and give the high schools half of it. Of course, I wouldn't give them the choice seats, but they could have the end seats and in that way it will bring in more of a crowd. Whoop it up and keep me advised.
