Port Ord, California.

| Dear Brownie:

I was pleased indeed to get your season's greeting which wes
contained on your posteard as of January Srd. I will be very
happy to continue our friendly yet serious discussion on the
future of competitive sports when and if they amount to more than
they do at present. Personally, I think they are the gyp.

Oklahoma has violated the residence rule and the migrant rule
_ by the use of Tucker, yet they are throwing up the same defenses

that the outfit of Hitler, Mussolini and Japan have used. The

_ Yules are not ambiguous ~ they are very clear, yet they appeal to
the maudlin sympathy thet this boy Tucker is a good boy, he is a

good student and it is a shame to mistreat a nice boy.

Brownie, it seems as if no organization at the present tine
wants to abide by the rules. These international bandits and high
pressure big shot lawyers have found so many loop heles in the law
that there is no respect for rules and regulations any longer. :

i still say my czar-commissioner is the answer. If this fellow
‘hed a long term contract and was the supreme authority like Judge
Landis, he would fire a lot of these coaches and fixers of athletics
and the remaining lot of coaches would be too much efraid to pull
what they are pulling now. :

Oklahoma is threatening to withdraw from the conference. Well,
there is just one thing I wish. I would like to be in e position
of authority high enough to give them a chance to jump out on their
_ meck, They are like the little boy in a big family. ‘They have
_ grow too big for their own family and when they get tee big the

thing for a lot of them to do is leave home.

Thanking you for your good wishes, and wishing you continued
success, and assuring you thet we sre one hundred per cent behind
‘the boys who serve, I am

e Sincerely yours,

oy Director of Physicel Bducation and Recreation,
