Tear Bobg

I am sending you a copy of @ letter that I have written
~~ Bentley which is self-explanatory.

Regarding Gregg MeBride's comment saying that the BigsSix
coaches are tiring of my charging into the court everytime @ Kee player
goes down, I might say that I never go on the court wmtil I get permission
from the officiales

this hid th thei ok nies aes tn de Gita, ed
permission to go on the floor when one of his players is injurede I never
go on the floor unless a player is injured and I might add that I will
reap ese to seek permission to go on the floor everytime one of my boys
is urede |

_ Mite MeBride's word “charging” makes it imply that there is a
militancy in the movement of my going onto the courte Personally, I
would say that the word is illy chosen because the attitude is not me of
militancy but rather one of concern for my pleyerse Do not football coaches
seek permission to go on the field when one of their players is badly
injured? They want to know whether the player is in @ position to continue
in the gam@e My purpose is first, to see whether the boy is badly hurt,
and second, to see whether he is able to continue in the games

I might add that maybe the fact the conference coaches are tiring
of my going on the court had more to do with the Nebraska situation than
Oe eee nt See 2 AT ES om The Cun Gane tone get yerniveten th do On
when I did go on the courte

I am, reminded of a story that may not have any application here, but

I still like the storys A negro

The plaintiff in describing the assult said,
dake, tah made Waitin wah Gann, Week ak Meoeghok wk uo 2a Wk akiee’ Shak me
covered with cinders, then he got his fingers in my kinky hair and he pounded
ay Rens CAeR Sad Sore SS eee Ciatereweal, dedge, I never got so tired of one
nigger in all my lifee*®

Maybe they are getting tired of me, Bobe
