Dr, Feo, Allen,

Director of Phyical Education,
University of Kansas,
Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Doc:
I had a good letter from Henry Shenk Monday in regard to the situation

involving the V-5 mene I hope that neither you nor Henry got the idea that
I was in any way critical of the treatment the men were gettinge As you recall I
pointed out in my letter to you that my own athletic experience had demonstrated
to me that there was rarely any puss for a player's belief that he was being
discriminated against. However, I had heard certain rumblings and I thought
that it wuld be well to clear the matter up. We may have other war time seasons
and it seemed to me wise to make certain that nothing was being done that might
impel any V-5 officials to hesitate to send athletes dow tc Lawrence,
Frankly, my first concern in the matter was the welfare of the University.
Henry said he might be dom here to show some motion pictures and I am hoping to
have a chance to visit with him,

An officer who has been helpful in getting players to the right

 

places has expressed a desire to see the Kansas-Missouri game, 1 wonder if it would
be possible to get two tickets for him. I would also like my K ticket and
would like to buy a ticket for my wife. We would vice! then together. If you will
see that they are sent, whthiinat statement for whatever is due on Irs. o'Leary$
ticket and in the way of taxes I'll send you a checks
The same mail that brought me Henry's letter brought also another
copy of Jayhawk Rebounds. Keep up the good work. I know what it means to the
-boyse If you don't look out, some magazine or newspaper will be grabbing you off

as columnist and the basketball world will be the losers,
Sincerely, _
