Mr. We Verne Wilkin, Manager
1010 Dwight Building
Kansas City 6, Missouri

Dear Verne:

Thanks for writing mee Yes, I know that both Bob
Rolander and Tom Boyston went a great many places. I know the
local situation pretty well end I am not sure that they will
to to Stillwater, but I do appreciate your writing.

I have been ‘through MiePherson ‘three times and we
are just not letting Hank Iba take everything, even though he
pays them more than is within our reach, We can't compete with
him on that basis, | ;
It's a sad commentary on sports. but apparently the
Oklahoma alumni put out much more money than the Kansas alumni,
Maybe our Kansas alumni do not want winning teams as badly as—
that. Missouri, Oklahoma, and Nebraska consistently receive
more financial alumni support than does Kansas, but thanks anyway.

Fraternally,

=
