My dear Phog:-

Thanks very much for your letter of the 26th and for sending me fifty
reserved seat tickets for the basketball game to be played in Kansas
City Saturday night. These arrived last evening, and have been turned
over to our Ticket Manager, If there are any of them left, they will

be brought to Kansas City by Ralph Graham, our assistant coach. He

will be there Saturday morning to turn them in, if there are any to turn
in,so that they can be sold that day.

It is a dirty shame that neither Kansas or Indiana can have any tickets
along the side of the playing court. Those people running the tourna-
ment knew that some two teams would be playing there next Saturday. The
least courteous thing they could have done would have been, before tickets
were put on sale, to hold at least one hundred good tickets for each of
the two competing institutions. Our people cannot understand why two
teams playing for a national championship could not have some tickets
along the side of the court. Personally, I have not heard of such a
situation existing in connection with any big athletic contest. Even the
Rose Bowl provides for each team to have a certain block of tickets on
each side of the field. It wovld seem to me that the people in Lawrence
have the same feeling about this that we have here at Indiana,

I am sending a copy of my letter to H. G. Olson.

I regret very much that I will not get out for the game myself as much

as I would like to be there and renew my friendships with the many people
I know in that section.

Again thanking you for sending the tickets to me, and with kind regards,
I am

age yours,
