INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS November 29 9 1942 °

DY. F. CC. Allen,
University of Kansas,
Lawrence, Kan.

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.
