Dear Doe:
Gerald Tucker cancelled his entry at Topeka
at the last moment and so will not be there.

I have written him today, a copy of which is
attached herewith.

If you can suggest anything which I might do
to help him to go to Kansas please let me know as
it pains me deeply to have to beat Kansas boys every
year in order to win a championship for Kansas. He
seemed very undecided here but I got the impression
some fast talking might help a lot.

He looks pretty big and tough and would look
nice grabbing some of those rebounds in the last few
minutes when those Oklahoma boys look so damn tall.

Let me know if there is anything I can do,

Best regards,
