R. M. ROBINSON AND COMPANY 2100 Fidelity Building Telephone Victor 4300 Kansas City, Missouri *-NORTHWESTERN*eMUTUAL*? FIRE*ASSOCIATION =: SECT R OES PER SY aE ea ee ee tS EO eS ee March 4, 1940 Dr. F. GC. Aiken 801 Louisiana Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allens: After talking to Harry Welsh today I still don't have any definite information for you in regard to Missouri's attitude on the playoff. I do know tnat M. U. was definitely planning to enter the N. C. A. A. tournament had they won the Big Six out- right. Harry tells me that Coach Edwards sent his players home after Friday's.game and would not allow them to spend the weekend in Kansas City. He also © says that Edwards intended to hold practice this week which seems to indicate a desire on Edwards part to particpate in a playoff if a three way tie developed. Harry wrote Edwards today and should hear from him by Wednesday; and if he gets any worthwhile information I will let you know. I'm sorry I can't be of more help to you but apparently no one knows about this for sure. I want to express my thanks again to youiand drs. Allen for the enjoyable weekend in Law- rence and I hope to be able to see you both soon. Sincerely dh) Frank Watkins Jr. ce ee eee evs ef eae ee | Bae ee ee ee ee a ee
