And I em glad that you are highly sold on “Garrulous Gerald".
I always think of what Beta boys printed on their sign and hung
om the Phi Delt house at Manhattan -- “In case of fire save Tucker.
To hell with the women and children." That about places my estimate
of this egoist. When he ren his fingers through the heir of Ralph
Miller and whittled his finger in » tsk-tsk fashion in his face be-
fore that crowd, then 1 determined in my mind he hasn't got what a
gentleman possesses. He is a fourflusher, and while he may have some
and athletic ability, he lacks the poise of a gentleman.

ee As far as tobacco-chewing, roughneck Jap is concerned --
well, he would make a great foreman of a section gang.

So you see I am not very fond of the boys from the red clay
country. Bruce Prake and I had a conference Saturday in Kansas City
and we exchanged some very frank and friendly words. [ told Bruce
that I liked him personally, but the stuff that was pulled at Norman
wasn't up to my likings and never would be, but when he came to
Lawrence he would alwys be treated like a gentleman, as he will be.
But this thing of proselyting athletes, making propositions to them
when they are supposed to follow rules, ~ then that is just one of
the things these fellows do with ell the brazemess of an oublowe
amd beceuse they heve done it so long they think it is their God-given
right to continue doing the same thing.

~iell, Cob, we will forget our wrangle with these boys down

south, and hope that another year will present better situations -
but I doubt it. Certainly Ido appreciate your friendship.

Sincerely yours,

| Director of Physical Education end Recreation,
PCA:Az Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach.
