May 9, 1942.

Mr. Clarence Hoff,
Assistant Manager,
Municipal Auditorium,
Kansas City, Mo.

Dear Mr. Hof f:

: | I am not sure whether I have your title correct or not,
but anyhow we will get the job done, I hope.

Wie have closed with Great Lakes Naval Station for a
basketball game in Kansas Ciity on January 30. I talked with Gene
Zachman and asked him to hold Jenuary 29 and 30. He confirmed it

; Now I find that Great Lakes is to play Missouri at
Columbia on January 29, and we will meet them on the 30th in Kansas

drew up with mo last year when Great Lakes pleyed us in Kansas City
then we will have the date set and everything will be closed for

January 30.
What I hed talked to Gene about was to have Oklahoma
Aggies and Kansas meet Great Lakes and Bernie Bierman's naval team

in Kansas City on January 29 and 30. would play Great Lakes one
night and the Marines the next night, with the Oklahoma Aggies
alternating with a service team. But tdwards' closing on January 29
at Columbia blew that up.

@

We will still try to arrange a double header with
Hank Tha if we can keep the dates clear.

Now, I have talked to J. B. "Red" Anderson, of Rock-
hurst, and they want to pley Kansas in Kansas City. I thought we
might make some money by playing those fellows in early December
in the Auditorium, I believe Rockhurst has enough following among
the Catholic men in Kansas City end Kansas has enough to draw a
pretty good crowd in a very early season game. I believe we could
make some money for all of us. “hat do you think about it? On May
first I wrote Clyde Baker and sent him a notation regarding the
possibility of playing Rockhurst.
