October 24, 1942.

Lieut. Ted J. O'Sullivan,
Special Services Officer,
-Beception Center No. 1773,
Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.

Thank you for your good letter of the 2ist instant.
Camp Crowder is anxious to play us, and the only way wa ean play
both teams, Fort Leavenworth and Camp Crowder, in Kansas City is
for the Jayhawkers to play both teams the same night. If we |
brought in another team that wouldn't suit Cemp Crowder.

fhe uniqueness of having Kansas pley both teams the
same night will add to the attraction. Our team will be large
enough that we can shift the boys back and forth. I think this
will be our only chance to play ths soldiers in Kansas City, and
I know the soldiers like to be in the city on Saturday night -
or do they, Ted? :

I certainly approve of your plan to give your boys an
opportunity to get into Officers’ Candidate Sehool as soon as
possible.

Of course we have a lot of games on our schedule, end
we can't pay you much when you play over here. I presume that
you will have your own transportation. Doceniber Ist will suit
us fine, and this game will perhaps be thrown open to the Navy
boys stationed here at the University.

These two games, January 16 and December 1, are, of
course, subject to approval of Gwinn Henry, the Athletic Director,
and the Athletic Board. But I em definitely making this arrange-
ment and will let you know as soon as I have their approval.

 ~Very sincerely yours,

: Director of Physical Mducation,
