March 13, 1942. Mr. Gwinn Henry» Direocter of Athletics, University of Kansase Dear Mr. Henry ¢ Iam sending you a copy of the minutes of the Finance Committee which was approved by the Athletic Board, as follews: — "Phat baseball as a conference sport be discontinued this spring, but that we have a baseball team to play local teams, such as Baker and Rockhurst, and conference toais whenever possible to do so without much expense." From my conversation with you, I believe that you misinterpreted the motion. This leaves it open to play the Kansas Aggies and Missouri, according te the discussion while I was present at the Finance Committee meeting. ‘You will recall that you left the Finance Committee conference early to attend a meeting in Topeka that day. I did not hear from you.or anyone else further con- cerning the meeting, so took it that the baseball team was to play « schedule of games. Am I correct in assuming that when you wrote all Big Six teams that Kansas would not play any conference schedule that this was hardly in conformance with the notion? i : I have been corresponding with Don Faurot on the premise that we were to play a curtailed schedule. I will be glad ‘to have a conference with you at your early convenience.

We would be willing to furnish lodging in fraternity houses or private homes for your team the one night they would be in Columbia if you would do the same for our boys the one night they would be in Lawrence.
