NAVAL AVIATION PRE-FLIGHT SCHOOL
Iowa City, Iowa

May 28, 1942.

Dear Phog:

Colonel Bierman has asked me to reply to your
letter of May 25th concerning a game in Kansas City on
January 29th. This date is entirely satisfactory to us
and we will put it down in our schedule as a definite
date.

The financial seule cera which you. suggested,
of a $200 guarantee with an option of 50% of the gross
receipts (after deducting 50% for auditorium rental and
other official expenses) is satisfactory.

One thing is certain, Rollie Williams will not
be coaching the University of Iowa basketball team. He
is at Annapolis now, taking the indoctrination course and
will probably be sent here as head basketball coach of
the Naval Aviation Pre=Flight School. If Rollie does
not head up our basketball, Ed Blickel, who has been
Harold Olsen's assistant at Ohio State, will be in charge
of our outfit.

We are looking forward to a great athletic
year. Two hundred forty two cadets came in this morning
and by the time of our game with you we should have ap-
proximately 1800 fine boys from which to select a team.

With kindest peysonal a

arry Sng ;

aes Commander, USNR,
Naval Aviation Pre-Flight School.

Mr. Forrest C. Allen, a

Basketball Coach,
University of Kansas,
Lawrence, Kansas.
