University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: I have read over carefully your letter to "Ole" Olsen with respect to expenses for your district tournament. I would suggest that we go into the matter of expenses to teams rather thoroughly when we meet in Chicago. I am not in favor of subsidizing the teams that attend tourna- ments to the extent that they are all in search of a crown of gold. Legitimate expenses are all right but if we make a commercial proposition out of the event then we place it in the same category as track. "Bill" Owens, who is president of the N.C.A.A., has some very definite convictions con- cerning expenses to teams. I suggest therefore that we proceed in this matter with some caution. Our next meeting will give us an opportunity to deal with the problem face to face.

You were quite right in your statement that , the ‘Oklahoma team should have been reimbursed for the mount of their taxi fare on the night of the final game at Treasure Island. ‘This evidently was an oversight which Major MeChrystal will be eager to rectify. The customary policy in figuring piiiman: ex- " penues for the transportation of college athletic teams is on the basis of a full section. During my seventeen years of coaching and traveling with teams both in the Big Six Conference and on the Pacific Coast, we used both upper and lower berths equally. Reimbursements to all the teams were made on this basis. These were my instructions to Major sChrystal when we figured the expenses of the teams. If there: has been an error in this procedure, then I am at fault for taking for granted that all teams travel in this fashion and for not notifying the contestants in the tour- nament accordingly. Therefore I do not think it will be possible to make any adjustment on viaean particular account, x em aeal for this difficulty. ‘New cordially pias Copy to Dr. Allen KANSAS STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE AND APPLIED SCIENCE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND ATHLETICS MANHATTAN, KANSAS May 26, 1939 Dr. Forrest C.

May I supplement Billts letter to the extent of saying that many of your good friends will sincerely appreciate it if you can have the Hotel President selected as the headquarters for this convention. We would not ask for your assistance in this connection except for the fact that we feel confident that the Hotel President can give you the best of service and has facilities for this meeting which cannot be equaled in any other Kansas City hotel. About two and one-half years ago a small group of us formed a syndicate and purchased the Hotel President, and since that time have spent about €200,000 in improvements. In our own office there are three K. U- alumni who are interested in this ownership and there are a number of others, including our mutual friend, Frank Teel. We are, ef course, all pulling for any activities in which K. U. is interested and hope that our friends at K. U- will do a little pulling for us whenever an opportunity such as this presents itself.
