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.

Sincerely yours,

Spell We tele
