Dear Yenry:

i was surprised to receive your letter
as of May 28th, stating that your cabinet feels that
student season tickets should not be counted in net
gate receipts. Of course your students do not know
what schedule you meke and I doubt whether it would
be importent from their stand-point if we were ever
on your home schedule.

_ I quite agree with you that your school
hes paid Kansas more money than you have received from
Us.

This is perhaps true with most of the
schools you play, due to the fact that you have a much
larger standing capacity than most any other school.
However, doubtless you will egree that the other schools
make fifty percent of the attraction.

i am reminded of the occasion a few years
back when most of your Oklahoma papers attacked Kansas
end me personally for uet scheduling games with you. I was
oognizant of the fact that you had never written asking for
a geme. Yet, that did not lessen the barrage. I felt very
keenly that any word from you could have set your own local
papers right but apparently none were forth coming.

. Upom receipt of a letter from you asking for
games, we agreed to appear at your field house to dedicate
your edéfice with one of our Sophomore teams. We asked for
our conference guarentee and nothing more. Nor have we ever
been unreasonable.

}

i now take it that apparently you do not desire
to continue relationships which have been very pleasant and
which heve afforded some very splendid competition,
