Dear Chancellor Malott; —

I am sending you the final progress report on the
National Basketball Championship finaneess In my letter to
Mre Olsen, who is chairman of the Tourmament Committee, dated
November 18, I endeavored to get him and Major Griffith together
cn a settlement. I have been the mediator in all of these things
and I believe finally we are getting somewhere.

Finding that it was impossible for me to get back to
Chicago again fer a conference I wrote Major Griffith on
November 30 setting forth the things that I had endeavored to
- get Mrs Ulsen to work out for mee 0m the same date I wrote
Mrs Olsen, sending him and Mr. St. Clair, the other member of
our Comittee, a copy of my correspondence with Major Griffith.
On December 5 I received a copy of a letter that Mr. Olsen wrote
Major Griffith. All these letters are enclosed for your ine

If Major Griffith follows Mr. Olsen's and my suggestions,
Kansas and Indiana will receive 3/14 of $3,511.27 or $752.40. This
makes &@ net income to Kansas from our three tournaments at Wichita,
Oklahoma City and Kansas City of approximately $2,700.

_ I @m also sending you a financiel report which was sent
to Mr. Olsen. ‘This shows tha+ the tournaments in Kansas City, the
Western and the National, which we supervised, made a net profit |
of $9,628.70. Sa ee ,
