Dear Phos:

On my return to New York I checked on the transpor-
tation costs between Kansas City and New York. The round trip
rate rail fare is $69.05. The pullman would be approximately
$15.00 round trip, or $85.00 a person, which would total $1275
for a party of fifteen. I presume that you will be away from
the campus approximately six days, and on the basis of $100 a .
day for your party - to cover meals and hotel accommodations- Ln
I would say that a total of $1850 would be about the right |
estimate. Nl Le

This is a trifle more than Oklahoma Aggies and
Oklahoma University or Missouri were reimbursed for their recent
trips East.

if this figure seems a fair estimate to you of
your probable expenses for the trip, I will be glad to pass the
infomation along to Fordham and Temple, so that they can cover
this amount in the agreements to be executed by them with Kansas.
I would like to suggest that of the $1850 total, $1500 would be
reimbursed you by Fordham for participation in basketball here
and the balance of $350 to be reimbursed to you by Temple.

If this arrangement is satisfactory to you, I will
immediately communicate with Fordham and Temple, so that they
have a clear understanding of this picture.

Sincerely aS

Director of Basketball
