OFFICE OF THE DEAN OF MEN STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CALIFORNIA March 12, 1940 Dr. Forrest C. Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Doc: So far as I know U.S.C. will accept the N.C.A.A. bid. All the conversation and corres- pondence that I have had with Bill Hunter has been favorable. The matter is now before the U.S.C. Board. I was down to the Pacific Coast Conference play-off and saw Bill Hunter then. He has since wired me concerning arrangements. I feel that U.S.C. will come but do not yet have official word from them. + Cordially yours,
