THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY Howarp L. Bevis, President DEPARTMENT OF PuysicAL EDUCATION L. W. St. Joun, Director COLUMBUS September 24, 1940 Dr. Forrest C. Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kensas Dear "Phog": I hope you approved of the point which I made in . the letter to Griffith, regarding the matter of guaranteeing expenses for our Basketball Tournament. I personally feel very strongly that while the event should pay out in such & way as to give them expenses or more under the set-up as outlined by him, still it will hamper us considerably to have to argue about the point. We have to be able to say “we guarantee”. I hope you will find it convenient pretty soon to send along the last part of your report so I can get this whole thing cleaned up with Griffith. With kindest regards. Very sincerely yours, aft VO a, Ge Olsen Chairman, N.c.A.A. Basketball HGO:M Tournament Committee
