Dear Henry:

i fear very much that we are nearing the
abrogation point in our basketball games. I can see the
point you are making, nemely, that our game does not have
any bearing whatsoever on the sale of a student ticket.
Sut, our athletic body feels that since they have been play- .
ing this geme under this contract, thet they are not willing
‘to play without their share of student ticket income.

If anything had arisen which would make Kenses
less of a drawing eard in this series, then the reasoning on
your pert might be justifiable. On the other hand, this series
of games has perhaps been the high light in this pert of the
countrys

4s Er, Falkenstien wrote you, we play under this
arrangement in our Big Six Conference and there are schools on
our membership that pay us more than you have paid us on this
arrangement. nd, on the other hand, we pay them only the eno
on account of the limited seating capacity that we heve.

; Yet, it is Kansas pleying at their place and at your
plece thet helps in making an attractive schedule. So, we do not
feel but what we're entitled to a part of the student ticket income

Since we help in an attractive schedule at your place. It seems

to us that it would be just as logieal for Nebraske, Missouri, or

Oklahoma to write us that they would be willing to pay us a cash

 flet guarantee, rather then to contimue the —— that they have
deen operating on.

Kansas has had @ fairly respectable reputation i
basketball for a number of years, yet, we did not endeavor to
captolize on that reputation when we brought our Sophomore team down |
to Stillwater to play you two games to open your field house. I'm
sure that you could appreciate our position a bit in being ganic
_ to give rather than take in this matter.
