but frankly I would much rather play you on the 15th because
four or five of our varsity basketball men will be on the
football team and I want as many days as possible to get

when we play Creighton I want as many dans as possible to

Creighton on the 4th, and Kansas State on the 6th. We of'ten

more than two days between contests. However, I trust that
this is satisfactory under the conditions.
