Dear Phogi-

I am very happy to know that you enjoyed your
trip and presume you would have enjoyed it a great deal
more had your boys been more successful here and in
Philadelphia. We enjoyed very much having you back here,
and I sincerely trust that Kansas University will continue
to be a regular visitor to New York City. It was a pleasure
meeting the boys and I am sure that the majority of them
would do much better on their second trip. Howard Engle-
man was one of the finest players it has been my pleasure
to see compete in these games.

Regarding the settlement for your games with
Fordham and Temple University. I am today forwarding a
statement of your account to Fordham University and I pre-
sume this will be relayed to you without undue delay, The
same condition exists in reference to your game with Temple
University. Mr. Yoemans, I am sure, will forward this to
you. For your advance information, my accounts at present
show that Fordham will receive for your account the amount
of $2846.44 minus a tax deduewtion of $7.80 on complimentary
tickets, or a net balance of $2838.64. Temple University
will receive for your account $603.72 less a complimentary
tieket tax deduction of $7.25 for a net balance of $596.47.
The gate receipts in New York for your game with Fordham
amounted to $17,714.34, the gate receipts in Philadelphia
$2567.24. Your total proceeds from the two games will, there-
fore, be $3435.11. I imagine that you will receive along
with your statement from Fordham a request for a note cer-
tifying that your expenses exceeded the limit of 2080.00,
which reimbursement is included in the total sum you will
receive.

I trust that you will let me know if you are in-
terested in returning, and if so with what schools you would
care to schedule games so that I can refer the matter to them
to take up with you directly in regard to arrangements on
dates and financial conditions.

Sincerely, y.
