taken down to Oklahoma A. & M. a few nights ago.

Paul also informed me that if some-
one would talk to Mr. Groe, head of the Physical Education
Department of North High School, they could find out about
the baseball situation insofar as this Wichita boy is
concerned. Paul told me that he was a very fine basketball
and football player, but that he was not allowed to play
anything except baseball and that he thought there was
no question but that he was signed up with the Boston
Red Soxe

Furthermore, Good assured me that
Doug Brown was the type of individual who would not lie
for anyone, and if anyone wanted to ask him about the
arrangements for the trip to Oklahoma, he would tell them
the truth about it.

Incidentally, Mr. Good and Mr. Groe
are neither K. U. athletes, and neither has any interest
at all in K. U. but definitely feel that these boys
should go to some school in the State of Kansas, and
‘that Kansas should retain their athletes in the State
of Kansas. They have no particular school in mind but
merely feel that we should not sit here md let the
State of Oklahoma come into our territory and "buy" our
outstanding players. Incidentally, someone should talk
to this Doug Brown about going to K. Ue, as no one as
Shown any interest in him as yete

I further feel very positive on one
point and that is that our local papers, particularly
The Wichita Bagle, are not showing a friendly attitude
