Chancellor Deane We Malott,
University of Kansase ~

Dear Chancellor Malott:

I dislike to bother you with correspondence that is
not vital. There has been some misunderstanding regard-
ing my position in obtaining for the University of Kansas
the share of money that I felt we were entitled to from
the NeCeAeAe I am sending you these letters to dispel
any such notione

"ole", referred to, is He Ge Olsen, chairman of the
tournament committee, of Ohio State Universitye Presi-=
dent Owens, is Wine Be Owens, a teacher of law at Stanford
University. Edmundson is at the University of Washington,
Seattle, Ste Clair is at Southern Methodist University,
Dallas, end Professor May is at the University of Oregone

In. John Bunn's letter he refers to the fact that our
chairman, Mre Olsen, unfortunately had never submitted
his report to the executive committee of the NeCeAcAe The
weakness on our part, that he refers to, was the failure of
the chairman to do the jobe The men who are in authority in
the NeCeAcAe are Lele Ste John, of Ohio State University,
where Mre Olsen is located, and Major John Le Griffith, com-=
missioner of the Big Tene

I have given you these names and positions so that you
might have a better understanding of the letterse I made
a very definite and strenuous effort to get for the Univer-
sity of Kensas our share of the gate receipts of the Western
play«soffin Kansas City, and also the National play-off. To
date that effort has been unavailinge .

Very cordially yours,
