Dear Dr.:

I do not believe that you clearly understood my letter of May
28 regarding contract for basketball games between our institu-
tions.

We do not have any contracts in basketball where we extend the
privilege of an option only in your case. We either trade games
home and home or pay flat guarantees. The Valley Conference

has been operating on basis of trading home games every since I
have been in the Conference and we feel that it is better to pay
flat guarantees for intersectional games. We trade our games
home and home with Oklahoma University.

I want you to fully understand that we have appreciated the series
with Kansas University and we would like very much to continue the
series. But, we do not feel that we should make a proration on our
student season tickets, due to the fact that this particular game
does not have any bearing whatsoever on the sale of our student
tickets. But, I do feel that it is fair that you should have an
option of the cash gate plus 4 proration on the transferable

season tickets. In other words, we would like to have games with

you with guarantee of $400.00 and option of fifty per cent of net

gate less student tickets. Or, we would be willing to play you
on a flat guarantee of $400.00, $500.00, $600.00, or $750.00.

Naturally, when we scheduled the games with the per cent privilege
I thought that we would exercise enough in option to offset the
amount we would deduct from our student season tickets.

I hope that your understand our position in this matter and I will
be looking forward to hearing from you in the near future.

With best personal regards, I am

Ale’.
