Dear Phog:

I've just been talking to the transportation men of the New
York Central and Pennsylvania Railroads here; Neither of
these gentlemen anticipate any difficulty in handling the
movement of basketball teams into and out of New York City,
but both wished me to impress on the visiting teams that it
would be wise to make reservations and plans from three to
four weeks earlier than would customarily be done for such
trips.

I would strongly advise that you start immediately making
out your itinerary, and arranging reservations so that
there will be less possibility of disappointment. I would
also advise that you plan your arrival here earlier than
usual, since many of the trains from the Middle West
especially, are running behind schedule. This is apt to be
true also when the bad weather sets in.

At the same time I would again like to remind you regarding
our need for publicity material. This is repetitious, but

most important.
oo yours, //
