| Through the years a coach will run on to such situations after
having a pretty rough game bob up all at once. And I never would have
said anything to Hank had he not immédiately after the contest come
over and said, "I don't like that, I'll tell you that." And then a
little resentment that I had kept way back flared up and I said, "That
gees double for me, too, Hank," And he said, “What?” And I repeated
my statement, saying, “I certainly don't like it."

We perhaps were talking about two different things, but had not
the Chancellor taken his position and had not the spectators (who, by -
the way, do not influence my action) made such a wited protest, then
perhaps it would have been an incident lightly passed over. But
members of the Athletic Board, many of them, have spoken to me since,
saying that they thought it was a mistake to play games like that.

When I was in Stillwater I was very frank and open when I spoke
to the Quarterback Club with Hank and our other friends seated close by.
I told them there at Stillwater that we did not like games of that kind
and I only wished they might have a couple of them down there to see
how really unsatisfying it was. But every game up mmtil this last one
at Stillwater, has not been a rough affair. However, the game of
February 17th was rough and resulted in some flare-ups.

| I like Hank Iba. I a fine coach and he is a good
fellow, and I am sure that if were, to play again, and I hope
we do some day soon, that there will be no repetition of any of this
rough stuff. I think he got a little overanxious in talking to his
in his desire to lick us, and they being a new bunch went further than
he had expected them to go.

I have gond to quite some length to explain to you that I had no
_ great pique over the Lawrence game, and it certainly would not have had
any bearing when it came to making an ultimate selection.

Thank you for your congratulations, but as I wrote George Edwards
the other day, I would not have been interested in playing in Kansas City.
I have some rather definite ideas regarding the N.C.A.A. and their money-
grabbing. ‘There is no more reason to expect the N.C.A.A. to take 55% of
the total income than it is to expect the N.C.A.A. or the Rose Bowl pro-
moters to take all the money there and divide it 18 different ways after
the money-grabbers take 55%. Nor is there any reason to expect the
National Commission to take all the money and let the players have a
mere dribble. There is no entertainment feature for the boys. They are .
limited to a mere $5.00 a day and taxicab fare is not even paid for them.
There is no show entertainment or anything else, so if anybody can get a
kick out of playing for the big-wigs who teach amateurism in its strict-
est sense and practice professional money-grabbing, then I am just all
Wrong. /

I trust some time that I may have the pleasure of sitting down and
talking with you. My conception is that the colleges who make this
tournament are entitled to the major returns and that the N.C.A.A. should
have a maximum of 20% of the net. In all of the other N.C.A.A. promotions
they get but 10% of the income from all the other sports, individually
and collectively. Sut basketball, which they sold once down the river
