Dear Doc:

I was glad to have your letter of April 4 and to know
definitely that we could figure on a home and home series
for next year.

Your suggestion to wait a little while on fixing definite
dates is ouite satisfactory since we have three return
contracts and the dates on these have not been closed as
yet.

Our examinations begin on January 20 and end on the morn-
ing of January 30. We can play at home on this last date
but hardly have time to travel for a game away.

We have a game in the east for January & and hope to add
two more en route. Since school opens on January 4 it is
difficult for us to work these games in on our return.
Previous to this trip we may catch up on return games at
Denver and Utah and also have a contract with South Dakota
for an Omaha date. This Utah trip is still pending and
may be postponed for another year. In this event a date
prior to Christmas may be 4 good solution for one of our
games although we usually catch some of the teams travelling
through on early trips and would not want to pass up any
of these situations. I have correspondence with Minnesota
and a couple of coast teams but nothing is definite right
now.

Please let me know how your dates progress and I will keep
in close touch with you also.

With kindest regards and best wishes, I am,
Sincerely,

s
