Dear Doctor Allens

We find that it is necessary to ask that
you release us from our obligation of our contract
for a basketbail game which was to be played at
Lawrence, Kansas, the night of December 21. As
you know, the Big Ten Athletic Directors went on
record in a recent meeting as making it prohibitory
to make any trips in the future where puliman travel
was involved. This along with difficulties of
transportation makes it next to impossible for us
to fulfill our contract at this time. We ask,
therefore, that you place this contract aside
and we will fill it after the duration. We are
sorry to cause you this inconvenience but it is
absolutely necessary.

Sincerely yours,

E. G. Schroeder
Director of
physical Education and Athletics
