‘Dear Mr. Cross:

This will snknowledge the carbon of the letter
whioh you addressed to Major McChrystal concerning the

 

eonenpes of the Matversity of Oklahoma basketball team.

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
