Kansas City, Missouri.

Dear Louie:

I em returning one of the signed copies of our contract
for our Great Lakes game in your Mumicipal Auditorium on January
30, 1943.

I am also writing you to ask you te hold for us the date
of Jarmary 29, as I have written to Major Bernie W. Bierman, .
Director of Athletics in the Naval Aviation Pre-Flight School at
Iowa City, asking for ea game with his outfit on the 29th. In that
case Kansas would have two nights of it, and I believe we sould
build quite a patriotic program around the two nights.

The reason that we could not play Oklahoma Aggies and Great .
Lakes was because Tony Hinkle, of Great Lakes, closed with the
University of Missouri at Columbia, Missouri, on January 29th.
That blew up our ship, but this will go mighty well, I think.
The fact that we are playing Bierman's outfit on the 29th will not
take much from the Great Lakes attraction, which is a foregone con-
clusion. And the two nights will possibly affect the pley of
Kansas egeinet the Great Lakes on account of being a little tired,
but we must remember that Great Lakes is playing Miseouri the night
before, so nobody should be badly hurt.

I will write you right amy, as scon as I hear from Major
Bierman. |

Sincerely yours,

: Director of Physical Education and Recreation,
