how your teams pack them in when playing Oklahoma teams.

Just now I am debating on whether to plan an eight-team
or 16-team tournament. I intend to poll the coaches who have been
coming to the tournament since its start and see what marxax are the
HEEX prospects at each school, before making that decision. In
either case, I'd like to have Kansas in the field.

This is one tournament in which the teams get all the money---
which © believe is how you would have it. We deduct the operating
expenses which include rent, officials and indidentals from the
gross receipts and split the rest among the teams on the basis of
how far they traveled and how far they went in the tournament. The
dhares haven't been tremendous but I don t believe many teams have
lost much money coming here and the coaches say the value of the
tournament exceeds any financial differences.

We have been delayed in =e: See this year's tournament
because the Municipal “uditorium here ‘where the games are played on
the elevated stage) has been out of service because of a fire. But
work is to start on the repairs Monday and we can now go ahead with
tournament plans. The dates are Yevember 27, 28, 29.

I hope you will give this your earnest consideration
and I am extremely hopeful that you will be able,to come down for
the tournament. f there are any questions, won t you let me know
at once? .

Yours very, trply,
