Dear Bidiec: ©

Dee --*«T have had quite a bit of correspondence with Tony
- Kinkle, of the mat Lakes Training Station, and we are tentatively
planning to play in Kansas City on Jenuary 29 or 30 with the Great
lakes team. This is a pretty good money game, and I would rather
utilize those dates with them if we can arrange some others with

yous

| I quite agree with you that since we are playing Iowa
State here on February 6th, and you finish two games in Oklahoma
ending the 6th, that perhaps February Sth would not be as adviseble
a date for both of us if we can arrange some other more satisfactory
time. I will have three or four of wy boys on the football team
next year end they will be my top liners, but I still believe that
we should play one of our games before Christmas. Our examination
schedules and our individual schedules mke it pretty difficult for
us to arrence a game at a time most satisfactory for both of us.

How would the dates of December 15 or 16 suit you at
Lawrence, and February 2 at Omaha? we are not permitted to play
here after the 16th on account of the preparation for and the giving
of the University Vesper religious service on the 20th. We play —
- Jowa University here on the 2lst. I notice that you are playing | i
Oklahoma Ao & M. at Stillwater on the 5th. The 2nd would be Tuesday Z
and since we are playing perhaps a couple of games on the 29th and 7
‘30th of January, February 2 would give us enough rest between those
‘two games and would still give you three days between our game and
your A. & M. game at Stillwater. ,

I have studied our respective schedules and since we
do not end our games until March 6 and you end yours on February
27, I do not see how we can get any games in at the fag end of the
sousone = ae 7

With all good wishes, I am

Sincerely yours,
