Dear Dr. Allen:

The reason I have been holding off on answering your letter
concerning basketball schedule is that our Athletic Cabinet
feels that we should make a change in financial arrangements

of contract. Since the money received for our student season
tickets is not prorated to individual sports, but is put in
general fund, our Cabinet feels that student. season tickets
should not be counted in net gate receipts. Our student tickets
are sold to the student at the beginning of each school year and
we do not think that any one game on our schedule in any sport
materially helps the sale of these tickets.

In the past it has been necessary for us to pay Kansas more money
fron our basketball account than we deposited into the account for
our share, due to fact that student season tickets are not prorated
to our basketball account.

I would be glad for you to think about this and take it up with
your Cabinet if you think it necessary. We are ready to enter
into agreement for games this coming season on same basis as in
the past with exception of counting student season tickets in
figuring option. Naturally, we feel that public season tickets
should be counted.

I am enclosing copy of our schedule and would appreciate hearing
from you at your convenience.

With very best personal regards and wishing you a pleasant summer,

I am
