Mr. We Fe Fox, dvs

Taitampolts, Yations

Dear Mr. Fox,

Bob Busby, in his sports column in the Daily Journal-World
as of December 9, quoted you on what you thought my s
was on college footbail.

I coached football at the University of Kansas back in 1920

and heving coached the game in an intercollegiate way for over
10 years and having officiated in college games for more than
than number of years and having served as Athletic Director

for 18 years, I feel that I have some background to base my con-
clusions, upon.

You understand that I am not criticizing anything that you have
said. These remarks to you are preliminary to my mailing to
you a copy of the speech which I made at Cape Girardesu, Mo.

I believe that my remarks are prima facia evidence that I am not
against football. I want to assure you that I em not against
football any more than I am against basketbell, but there are
many things which would bear looking into in the so-called “ame-
teur®” Came f

I made the remark that subsidized football was in trouble.
With all good wishes I am

Sincerely yours,

Directer of Physical Education and Recreation
FcA/pg Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach :
