Dear Yoe:

Permit me to offer congratulations on the triumph over
Oklahoma. I'm sorry I couldn't mike connections,but the tfain
was two hours late getting one of Wichita and that would have
put me in Norman after the game. I did want to see you pour it
on Oklahoma. I'll be frank = admit that your club surprised
mee It must be one whale of a basketball team,because I know how
tough it is to win one on a foreign court -and especially when
the opposition is as strong as Oklahoma.

It's rather hard to piece together the true account of the
game from the limited service over the wires and since I haven't
heard a Kansas version of what happened I would be intersted to
know just how you wemt about winning it. Some time when you have 4
few moments you might drop me a line.

| am planning on booking several big college games for

Wichita next season. I have already secured the Forum for the events

and have tentative arrangements 1 with some of the Coast schoolse

Would you be interested in playin here ?I know we would mé&ke you

far more money that you would get out of. tk Eastern trip,and while

that is still the big prize of theseason there would at least be a
chance to aid the treasury by playing heree

Henry Iba has expressed himself as being willing to play kkex
in Wiéhita and Bruce Drake Has also indicated that he might consider
the propositione

I plan to be in Lawrence soon and I'll look you up to discuss
the matter . Meanwhile, I'd like to hear from you on the subject.

With kindest personal regards and wishing you continued
success,I an,

Yours truly

Jack “opeland
