Dear Mr. Flynn:

: Thank you for your good letter of the 9th instant.
We do not have a Chicago representative in the terms that you
speak of. We have a great number of prominent Chicago alumi,
but sinee we do not have any scholarships whatsoever in basket-
ball it would be useless for me to give you any of their names.

I know many colleges do give scholarships, but we have
never had one here in basketball at the University of Kansas.
Personally, I have always felt that the young man was the individ-
ual who was already receiving from his wiversity great benefits.

should pay a young man for going to college. He is going to
college for the inspiration and the education that he receives,

11 pay him a hundred or a thousandfold, if he takes ad~
vantage of his educations Of course, if he is without funds and
really expects to wor: ee San aia Te ees, aks sane Sek Seer
has any difficulty in getting a job that will help him.

This war is going to teach coaches and athletes one
thing in particular - that the easy money paid to athletes be-
wales Wie dee Wien, Tie wists ek on a team will be no more.
It will teach them that this past easy existence will be no more.
Taxes and the struggle te live will so consume all of that per- —
verted money that we will entirely change our ways of thinking.

Please do not think that I am lecturing to you, but I

@ preached this for years - that the “big time” athletics .
are on the way out and from now on coaches and athletes will have

to actually work for what ay get.
With all good wishes, I am

Sincerely yours,
