TOPEKA, KANSAS
December 4, 1939

Dr. Forrest C. Allen
Kansas University
Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Dr. Allen:

I am sending you this letter in regard to
hotel accommodations that you will be able to ret
while in Topeka during the tournament.

We have in Topeka, two fine hotels, the Kansan
Hotel and the Jayhawk Hotel. Both of these are
really up-to-date hotels.

At the Kansan Hotel, you will be able to
reserve rooms as low as 75¢ per mane There will
be other accommodations, however, that you can get
for $1.00, $1.25 and up. I am sure these 75¢ and
91.00 rooms will be very comfortable for the boys.

The Jayhawk Hotel has made us a rate of as
low as a $1.00 per man and up.

I think it would be well for you to write and
make your reservations at either one of these
places.

The tournemient is progressing nicely, and I
believe Topeka is going to be very much interested
in it. Further information will be forthcoming as
things progresse

Very truly yours,

Lee Luihion

Kansas played Ue of Soe California in Kansas City, Kansas, on December 20, 1935
and Kansas Aggies in Kansas City, Moe, on December 21, 1935.
(In the same season Kansas played the U. of California in Kansas City, Moe

on January 2 and 3, 1936.)

Craig Ruby thinks December, 1934, was the year that Illinois played Washington

in Ste Louis on the first night of the series, and played Ste Louis on

the second night. Missouri played in the same tournament.

member of any college athletic team during any
semester in college who does not continue in attend-
ance the full semester or quarter of his participation

shall be ineligible to represent his college in ath-
letic contests who engages in such contests unat-
tached or as a representative of any athletic organ-
ization not connected with his college, whether in
term time or vacation. Provided, however, that a
student may be allowed to participate unattached
or as a representative of an outside amateur athletic
organization during the summer vacation, if he has
secured permission from the faculty representative
of the institution involved.

2. Interpretations.

a. Playing on an alumni team against his own
high school team in a game under the super-
vision of the high school management shall not

home town or city club, shall not be disqualify-
ing participation provided:

way represent the institution,

(2) That such athlete is not at the time a
member of. any team or teams in any
sport engaged upon a schedule of meets,
games, or tournaments, and

contest who has ever received a loan, scholarship
aid, remission of fees, or employment merely be-
cause he is an athlete or through channels not open
to non-athletes equally with athletes.

xX. RECRUITING.

1. By Alumni and Friends. The Conference is op-
posed to the recruiting of prospective students by
alumni and friends, when the reason for such re-
cruiting is that the prospective students are athletes.
The conference will make continued and positive ef-
forts to eliminate such recruiting..

2. By Members of Athletic Staffs. Members of ath-
letic staffs shall not recruit prospective athletes.
The following are submitted as typical examples of
recruiting:

pondence, direct conference or indirect message.

spay rectarnps meen

a

b. Promising employment, loans, scholarships or
remission of fees.

c. Indirectly contacting prospective athletes by
suggesting to alumni or friends that they en-
deavor to recruit them.

Staff members shall avoid the appearance of re-
cruiting. Evidence that a staff member has been
guilty of recruiting shall be considered grounds for
action discontinuing the scheduling of contests with
those teams with which he is connected or for
which he has been recruiting.

Regulations governing recruiting by staff members
are designed to relieve the coaches of any sugges-
tion of responsibility for recruiting material for
their teams.

XI. MIGRANT ATHLETES. Before a migrant athlete
from an institution above high school grade, except from
a strictly..organized junior college, may participate he
shall establish beyond reasonable doubt that.his mi-
gration had no undue connection with athletic: participa-
tion. When an athlete considers transferring to an-
other institution he shall communicate with the authori-
ties of the institution in which he proposes to enroll,
pointing out the reason or reasons for such transfer,
whereupon it shall be the duty of the authorities of such
institution, if a member of this conference, to ascertain,
_through correspondence the validity of the reason or
reasons for such transfer. Failure on the part of the
migrant athlete, or on the part of the institution, to com-
ply with the provision of this section shall render such
migrant athlete ineligible for further athletic ee
tion in this conference.

XII. PROCEDURE.

1. When the faculty representative of a member in-
stitution is in doubt as to the interpretation of a
rule in a case of eligibility, he shall refer the case
to the Conference Eligibility Committee.

2. Staff members shall report to their faculty repre-

- sentatives all rumors of violations of eligibility rules
or of irregularities in their administration.

13
 

te

3: When a faculty representative hears such a rumor
from any source he shall report it to the faculty
representative of the school involved, who shall
conduct a thorough investigation, to ascertain the
facts in the case, and take appropriate action.

4. Evidence of violation of the eligibility regulations
shall be considered adequate grounds for disciplin-
ary action by the Conference. The faculty represen-
tatives may, by a two-thirds vote, instruct the ath-
letic directors to discontinue the scheduling of con-
tests with a member institution which has been
guilty of such violation.

XIII. SPECIAL CASES. The conference shall have full
power to act on all special cases not covered in these

Dear Doc:

. As Gwinn intimated in a letter today,I have been holding
off plans for our proposed pre-season basket ball tournament until
something definite came out of Kansas State.

The plan is to have eight teams here,play the gamesa t
Washburn's fieldhouse,with each club playing one game on December 27,28
and 29, All proceeds,above actual expemses,would be pro- rated to |
the competing teams. “e hope to have Rangae Kansas State, ashburn,
Emporia State,Baker,Ottawa and possibly Southwestern and Vreighton,

Because I know you must complete your schedule within a
short time,I called Mike “hearn today to get his reaction. He is very
favorable to the idea but wants to take the matter up with Jack
Gardner,the new coach,who will not be in Manhatta until “August 15.
Miike also wondered about the Big Pix schedule limit by, which would: be
exceeded by one game if Kansas “tate played three here. He was
interested enough,tho,to say that he might try to get out of one game
already scheduled if Gardner is Willing.

Personally,I believe such a tournament would pay all
expenses easily this first year and possibly net each team some money.
On an annual basis,it couhd be built into a’ real event and could inciude
touring teams that might be coming this way.

"e also plan to work out a.clinic program for coaches and
players if the tournament goes over and,of course oe want you to
head the faculty.

Beyond this information,I have nothing more to offer until
Gardner arrives. Of course,if you are willing to go ahead without
definite knowledge from Kansas . we are perfectly KG HALAK EX satisfied.
l4m sure Baker ,*mporia and the othe will come in and “ashburn is all
set."e won't have any ents ge ee ins teams but my first thought was
to get two from the Big “ix,two from the Missouri Valley,two from
the Central and two from the Kansas conferences,

on the situation.

T will appreciate hearing your ide

Dear "Phog"s

I appreciate your letter appertaining
to Basketball and feel that it would be better
for us to play you a single game on December 28,
because that date permits us to play the 26th in
Colorado and possibly the 29th or 30th in St. Louis
if we care to do so.

Our Board is like any Board, I presume,
interested in the exact number of games to be played
as well as the guarantee. While we would probably
last only one game in the tournament, there is no
way of knowing what guarantee will aceompany the
schedule when presented to the Board.

Therefore, let's tentatively agree to play
somewhere in Kansas, December 28th with the University
as our opponents. It would make no difference to us
what place it was played, as long as, the facilities
are satisfactory.

Sincerely yours,

Ben F. Van Alstyne

Dear Phog:

I appreciate your letter of

September 19 and there seems to be no objection
if we were to participate in a tournament there
on the dates you mentioned, namely, December 27,
28 and 29. Naturally the important item here is
that we do not know what financial arrangement
the promoters of this enterprize could give us
and also we have the chance to play in Colorado
on the 26th of December and with the game with
you on the 28th as a possibility, the set-up en-
ables us to secure at least partially our expenses.

I am sorry that I gave the in-
pression that we would need $300 to play at your
place because I had referred to your telegram which
stated that $200 was about your limit.

To summarize my thoughts in the
matter if we play in the tournament we should drop
the Colorado game of December 26 and fill-up the
three games with the tournament possibilities. Or
the other alternative is to play Colorado December 26
snd Kansas December 28 ami 29.

Now that you know our plans just
figure out anything that you think would be best for
us and I am sure we can fall in with your ideas.
Should we just play you one game there we would con-
sider the guarantee as being $200 which I believe is
agreeable to you.

Sincerely yours,

Dear Phog:

Your telegram received today, for which I thank
you and undoubtedly under estimated the distance fom Kansas
City to wast Lansing and since we could not afford to pay
eight hundred dollars ($800.00), to get you on just this one
geme, probably it would be better to wait until such time as
you will be taking a trip this way and then we could meet
your regular conference guarantee.

I am now trying to get a three way switch so that
Marquette can play here on rebruary 10, but do not know if
I will make out. Will you advise me if it is satisfactory

to have us play there that last week in vecember, with the
guarantee you mentioned in your wire.

Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Phog:

I was glad to receive your letter
yesterday and got to talk with Mr. Young a few minutes about
the possibility of making some sort of an arrangemert whereby
we could give you a little more money to play here than for us
to play there. Mr. Young suggested to go ahead and see what
arrangements we could make and then take it to our Athletic
Council.

With this set-up in mind, I am
writing you to see if you could hold a date for us in Lawrence
on December 28th, which would work in rather well provided we
play in Colorado Springs on the 26th. In the event that the 26th
date falls through we would probably prefer to play in lawrence
on the 26th inasmuch as we could hardly afford to stay over that
long on our return trip.

The dedication game here on February
10th should be a gala affair as we are having a regular carnival
of wrestling, boxing, track climaxed by a basketball game that
night. I really feel that you team would top it off and surely
appreciate your willingness to help us even though you have a
conference game on the 12th of February.

I have looked up the railroad fares
and find that the coach fare from Lawrence to Lansing is #16.52
and first class is $21.65. Lower puliman to Kensas City is $3.15
and tourist is $1.60. It is possible for you to put your team on
the train here Saturday night following the game and you would
arrive in Chicago early Sunday morning. Arrangements could pro-
bably be made to have your pullman attached to a train for Kansas
and you would not have to make any changes.

Do you feel that you department
could pay us a $300.00 guarantee to play there, and we would give
you $350.00 here with possible entertainment in the form of
Sleeping facilities at local fraternities. m

In any event, Phog, just hang on
for us to shad. there on the 28th and here on February 10th.
If you do not think our proposition fair relative to guarantee
let me know, and I will be glad to take it before the council
because we, do want to make our homecoming successful.

Lawrence, Kansas ;

Dear Phog:

I greatly appreciated your correspondence of August 14
and I am answering just in case things work out so that we might
be able to play you en route. At the present writing we have
a temporary date for December 20, but I do not know whether it
will work out. This game was with Brigham Young in Utah. We
are playing Creighton on December 18 and would have made a nice
jump as we are playing California in Berkeley on the 22nd. On
the way back we have a tentative game with Colorado on the 26th
or 27th. This would leave us a possible date in Lawrence. I
appreciate the kind of crowd you would have at this time and would
be glad to take whatever guarantee you feel you could make, should
there be an opening.

As mentioned before we would be very much interested in
having you olay at our place a year following.

We are building a new field house and gymnasium which
will seat nine or ten thousand people this year and are holding a
dedication game here February 10. The University of Michigan was
scheduled to play this game, but due to the Western Conference
set-up this year we are having to schedule another team for that
date. I have little hope that you would be able to play on
February 10 of this year, but just in case you could, I should
be glad to have you help us pull off the lid.

Should there be a possibility of a game in Lawrence this
year on December 27 or 28, I should be glad to hear from you later.
