"T have been doing a little snooping around regarding the football
situation at North High School. One of my closest friends is Paul Good, who
is vice=principal of North High School. I talked with him yesterday in a
confidential manner.

"He tells me that he personally talked to Doug Brown, who is the out-
- standing football player and captain of the team this year, regarding the trip
of certain football players to Oklahéma University. Doug Brown told Paul Good
that Jap Haskell had been up to Wichita and talked to them about coming down to
visit Oklahoma University and that he agreed to pay all expenses of the trip.

"I believe they went in a car belonging to one of the boys, but expenses
were paid by Oklahoma University. He questioned him particularly regarding
whether it was Jap Haskell or his brother who had made the arrangements. He in-=
sists Doug told him that Jap Haskell came up.

"Paul Good asked him how he happened to go, and his reply was that of
the typical high school boy == that is, "Why not, if you could have a good trip
with all expenses paid?". Incidentally, another group was taken down to Okla-
homa As & Me a few nights ago.e

"Peul also informed me that if someone would talk to Mr. Groe, head of
the Physical Education Department of Notth High Schoo}, 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 Sox.

"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 arrange=-
ments ®f the trip to Oklahoma, he would tell them the truth about it.

"Incidentallyy Mr. Good and Mre 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 and 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.U., as no one has shown any interest in
him as yet.*
"No Signature Given.”
