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
thonoughly 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, 7

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" Qwens, 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,

Very cordially yours,

John Bunn
Representative from the 8th District
National Basketball Committee
