University of Kansas.

Dear Chancellor Malott:

For your information only I want you to know that our
Great Lakes ~ Kansas basketball promotion was a fine financial
success. In spite of the most unpleasant and inclement
weather, April showers and November blasts of chilly wind
ae hours prior to the game and continuing up to with-
in 20 of the starting time of the game, we had a tre~
mendous crowd.

I predict that if we had had a fair day we would have
filled the hall with ten thousand people. As it was, we had
better than five thousand, and I brought home a cheok for our
chare of $1186.46. I collected for the band expense and I
believe thet we will net almost the amount of the cheok and
that is considering our team travel. A tidy nest egg, I
would say, for our depleted treasury.

I wish that you might have been
no fear of the ability of the Navy to sink the Japs if you had
seen them shoot.
