Dear Charlie:

I am sending you the data that you asked for.
I hope it is satisfactory.

You will pardon me if I call your attention to
some erroneous statements that you seem consistently to make.
Some of these are as follows: You state that bulletins had
been posted on the Fansas dressing room bulletin board heralding
the greatmess of Tucker, Also you said that I would admit that
he was a great player, end so forth. There have been many other
statements that you have made which are equally untrue.

No clipping or statement has ever been put on the
bulletin board at Kansas regarding Tucker. ‘“e consider him an
ordinary migrant athlete. We did not scout him in any of our
gemes nor did we scout Oklahoma, nor do we think that he is a
great athlete. I consider a great athlete a men who plays great
ball and conducts himself on the court as a high grade gentleman.
T have two players on my team that I would not trade for Tucker -
Charlie Black and Ralph Miller.

They asked me at Oklahorm if
make. I said, "None whatever". The reason
Tucker is a great athlete is because in that game when things

ike things to him to egg on the crowd which had a
distinctly home and partisan flavor. le acted the part of
grand stander throughout the game. We did not prepare for Tucker
and we took care of him in a fine, clean way. We preferred to play
the ball and not foul the man. But it was the hitting of McCurdy
and Roberts on long shots that broke the Kensas defense.

hind coven Athen we heevet i pinks’ en Okleheen ot
Norman. And we scored but 54 in our crushing defeat of Oklahome
heree It was the unprecedented hot shooting of Oklahoma hitting
39.6% of their shots that defeated Kanses. For your information,
