Dear Cob:

I'm sending you a copy of the | oe
from Toa ¢ on the llth of June and a copy of my reply to him.

There absolutely will be no backing up on this
stand. Our Athletic Board feels that they are entitled to one-half
of the student tickets which are coumted in at face value of twenty
cents and we merely get ten cents from each ghudent in this case.

Frankly, it lodks to mo as though Senk doesn't have
a very good team coming up and he's trying to find a way to gtep out,
but, if he steps out on the whaling of Sus Ham, his Oklahoma contingent
will not be sufficient to put this game back om the calendar. flank -
cannot say we're scared cof him. On the other hand, I will give pub-
lisity material to our correspondent and show the public that instead
of I being the one that is scared, it is he.

I hardly think it is cricket on Henry's part since
hos 0 ig wieiiomied. Suse ona I had a Sophomore team and we opened
@ two game series and I played him but ome game at Lawrence. When
Oklahoma A. & M. and Kansas have met on a neutral court we have whipped
im both times. Yet the series stands even up because he has played
us down there more times than we have played at Lawrence. So, I'll
let the record stand as it is if he wants it that way.

In the Conference he is in, he hes no school in
the Missouri Velley that draws crowds and only the University of Okla-
home packs them in. If we do not pley down there, he will lose more
from our not playing the game tham he would lese from paying us this
extra stipulation, es he calls it. Year in and veer out, he will not get
e team thet will draw as well as will Kanses., “hat's why I make this
point that he will lose more than he will gain. And, we can schedule
games that will pay us as much as he pays us. His entire payment this
year was less than nine hundred dollars and we got over a thousand from
Nebraska. And we have gotten more then a thousand dollars many times
from Oklahoma and Missouri.

Hank is failing to take into account that we make
one-half of the attraction and therefore are entitled to onehalf of the
money. Not the one-half which is all cash, but one-half of the student
