Dear Sirs

Your remark that a good college basketball team could beat
any AeA.sUe team has caused considerable controversy in Oklahomae It has
been my opportunity to see the Oklahom City Parks’ Team of the Missouri
Valley A.A.U. League soundly beat two good college teams with such ease
that, should they have wanted to, they could have trebled the scoree They
trounced Central Missouri State Teachers College of Warrensburg, Missouri,
winner of the All-College Tournement held in Oklahoma City, by the score of
48 to 14e They beat the tall Arkansas University team by 66 to 28-6

Now, these two teams can not be regarded as pushovers by anyone ae
as Warrensburg has one of its many annually good teams and Arkansas twice ——/
peat Oklahoma University, whom you pick to win the Big 6 Conference titles
Do you still think a good college basket ball team can beat one of these
AAeUe League Teams? I would be interested in kmowing. Should you care
to reply to this letter you may address it,
