Our team expense for the trip was, I belive, $302.99, This was smaller than my estimate given you in Wichita as that was amount was figured on the possibilities of maximum cost of two games in Wichita. However, I am out some personal expense on my trip to Kansas City to attend the 5th District Committee meeting on March 9. For this trip I am submitting: 265 miles driving of personal car @ 34¢ per mile ----------- $ 9,27 two meals 60% and 55¢ -------- 1.18 1 4 _ Inasmuch as the trip was exclusively for N.C.A.A. Tournament business I cannot obtain refund from the University. I would appreciate if if this expense could be met by the N.C.A.A. and the check sent to me personally. I will be in Kansas City Friday noon to see the western sectional games. I hate to bother you with details of the coaches meeting, but would like an opportunity to see you sometime during the two days relative to a report for the Research Committee. In this connection I hope you will be able to bring along such in- formation as you have regarding experiments in basketball which might be incorporated in my report to the coaches. Your contacts with these subjects through your Rules Committee Research have given you a great amount of information which is closed to mee In all probability you are planning to submit a report to the Rules Committee covering experimental work. I don't care to exhaust this material before the coaches, but believe that a digest of essential findings would be worth while without robbing your report of any of its importance. You have so many other things to attend to that I am not asking you to do any more. If you can bring along your material I will work up The World Series of Basketball
