Dear "Doc":

Your game with Loyola is to be played at the
Coliseum, which is right downtown. I suggest that
you contact Joe Bernet at the Sherman Hotel. He
took care of us in very nice shape during our
Coaches Meeting and I am sure that if you go direct
to him that he will give your team a rate. As
second choice I would suggest the Morrison Hotel.

The floor at the Coliseum is a fine floor but
they have glass back-stops and some of the teams
had a little trouble at first with the glass. Out-
side of that, I think it is a very good place for
basketball.

I was very sorry to read in the paper about
Dr. Naismith and do sincerely hope that he will be
able to pull through.

With kindest personal regards, I am,

Sincerely yours,

ACL:MH \ ALA,
