intended scheme to play in Kansas City Municipal Auditorium on
those dates. Henk Iba and I had plemmed on bringing two other

However, there is a Big Six ruling in our conference
_ which prevents our playing on any basketball floor that is not
under the control of a college in that citys But we can play the

50 date is about the best set up that we have at the present time
for our games with Great Lakes.
