Dear Dr. Allen:

Yesterday I sent you a letter which
passed yours of the 27th in the mails. Had I
waited until this morning it would not have
been necessary for me write since you answer
all of my questions.

Jack Gardner's team is a highly
acceptable substitute for Iowa Pre-Flight as far
as Missouri is concerned. Don't beat them too
badly this week end or you might take a little
edge off their drawing power later.

Yours truly,

George R. Edwards.

Dear Dr. Allen:

Missouri's basketball schedule has not been re=
leased because I desire to have it as accurate as possible.
We still have one possible open date, and definite news
of the double header plans has not been received. As soon
as you let me know about the double headers we will send
you a schedule.

Recently Louis Lower wrote twice and phoned once
asking if I would agree to the substitution of Olathe Air
Base for Pre*Flight. Apparently my replies have disturbed
him because I refused to tell him my opinions; have told
him that we are guests; that arrangements are in your
hands; and that we will neither accept nor reject the idea
of such a substitution until we hear from you.

Perhaps I have done wrong, but if Lower has been
delegated to handle arrangements for Kansas I know nothing
about it. Until I receive word to the contrary you are
the boss, and I will do everything in my power to avoid giving
you any further embarrassment.

The withdrawal of Pre=Flight has been discussed with
Hinkle. Both he and I agree that the double headers are your
baby, and that we can only sit tight until you have made
such arrangements as are satisfactory. We both hope that
you will find another team and that the attractions will
draw well. From previous experience you should know that
I stand ready to aid in any duties you see fit to delegate
to me, but that I won't put in a finger which might cause
interference with your plans.

If you have appointed Lower to act for you I would
like to know it. Until such knowledge is available I shall
continue to look to you for information and instructions
regarding Missouri's place in your plans.

I will be in Kansas City December 5 and hope you
will have a few minutes to take up these matters with me.
In the meantime should you have arrived at any decisions I
would appreciate a letter telling me about them.

Yours truly,

George Edwards.

Dear "Phog":

Received your letter of June 9 regarding Missouri-
Kansas-Great Lakes setup in basketball.

I was sorry to hear that you hed scheduled the
Iowa Naval Cadets for a game in Kansas City the night be-
fore we play you. Such a previous game, undoubtedly, will
detract from our game the following night. I believe, under
the circumstances, we should try to arrangesome form of
doubleheader on the 29th and 30th, Naturally we did not
know of Missouri's drawing power in Kansas City, but we do
believe on January 29, a Missouri-Great Lakes game, and a
Kansas-Iowa Naval game, followed on January 30 with a Kan-
sas-Great Lakes game, and a Missouri-Iowa Naval game, ought
to have more drawing power than the present arrangement.

May I hear from you at your earliest convenience.

doing a fine job on the publicity angle, and I wouldn't
be a bit surprised if you get a thousand dollars. There
are excellent prospects for a wonderful crowd.

state that I have written the Auditorium people asking then
to reserve January 30 for a date with Great Lakes and Kansas.

The fact that you are playing at Columbia will not
lessen the attraction one whit at Kansas City. I om sure that
we will have another nice crowd as we had last year in Kansas
City. We will pay all expenses and divide the net receipts
fifty-fifty. ‘The management of the Auditorium gets 20% of the
hhll receipts. Then wo allowed §200 to each team for expenses
and divided the remainder equally. I believe the net receipts

Dear "Fog":

Sorry to keep you waiting so long for
an answer to your letter concerning basketball
dates.

Right now it looks as if it will be
impossible for us to play you between Christmas
and New Year's. However, it may work out a little
later that we could play at that time.

As I stated in a previous letter, we
are contemplating playing Missouri at Missouri
on January 29th, and the Januery 30th date a
ones at Kensas City would fit right into that
program. Would the January 30th date suit you?

If you think a double-header is nec-
essary to draw a big crowd, what would you think
of the idea of getting a couple of the smaller
colleges around there to play 4 geme, or possibly
Phillips 66, or somebody like that? Anybody who
wouldn't require much money might be suitable.

Dear Tony:

Could you play between Christmas and New Year's,
while the students are home? I have been planning a
trip to New York, but I am not sure thet it will work
out. That would possibly be during the early part of
December and we would be at home to play during the
Christems vacation. I have talked to the Auditorium
people in Kenseas City and they think thet is the best
time to play. If this would suit you, it would-be all
right with us.

I don’t want to take Missouri's date, but our
first semester examinations end on January 28, end that
is just about the best time we would have - January 29
or SO. If we played during that time it would be at the
end of our examination period.

Let me know how these suggestions appeal to yous

Ralph Miller at the present time is in the hospital
with lobar pnewnonin. Tie was not feeling well when we
pisyed our games in the Auditorium in Kensas City. In
fact, I told him I was not going to start him in the gam
with Rice because he wes feeling so bad, and just before
the game he came to me and said, “I would like to start,
at least, even if I can't finish, as it is my last game."

The pain thet he compleined of was in his right side
and I thought it was either liver or stomach. It had a
tendency to appear in the abdominal region but reflected
over the right side. It turned out to be intercostal
neuralgia, a forerunner of lobar pneumonia. When he gets

 
 

well enough to talk te him about playing I will bring up the
