Dear Phog:

I have your note of April 12th regarding the transporta-
tion and hotel expense and will rectify my mistake in figuring the trans-
portation and pullman.

It is my understanding that your expenses would be $2080;

—=—

of this amount $1500 would be reimbursed you by Fordham University and ysS0_
by Temple University. <

I am a bit concerned over the days that you mention in
your letter, since it was my understanding from our conversation that we
were discussing your game with Fordham to be played in New York on Satur-
day December 28th and with Temple University in Philadelphia on Monday
December 30the This is the arrangement that I have been working on in
making up my schedule for both places. |

ee Regarding the percentage figures for both Madison Square
Garden and Gonvention Hall: The percentage for Kansas University in both
places would be 10% of the gate receipts after the following deductions
have been made:

In New York the Kansas expenses are $1500. The expenses of Univer-
sity of Minnesota are not to exceed $1250, and the expenses of
Madison Square Garden preparation, officials, tickets, personnel,
etce not to exceed $1500, or a total of (4250.

In Philadelphia the deductions would be = Kansas not to exceed $080.
The other visiting team not to exceed $750, if it is Santa Clara,
which now seems likely, and the Convention Hall expenses not to
exceed $1000, or a total of $2330.

As yo can see fran this figure, the total deduction
from both spots would be $6580 at the most. oe

I would conservatively estimate the receipts from these
two games to be between $15,000 and $20,000. The $15,000 receipts wuld
be below our average for the past season. I do not see how the trip could
fail to net you a profit of at least $1000, and will be disappointed if you
do not make considerably more.

I trust that this is the information ym desire, and if
I have been correct in my assumption of the dates, I will get in touch with
Fordham and Temple and have them forward the agreements to yo on the above

stated basis. Sincerely eel Bal
