confused because you mention me as the Kansas State basketball
coach. You also mention “perennially athletically powerful Okle-

sport you refer, but for your information the University of Kansas
has won or tied for the championship in basketball nine out of the
last eleven years, and in my twenty-four years of coaching at

Gerald Tucker entered Kansas State College and stayed seven
weeks. After the ninth week, with a week or so at home, he entered
the University of Oklahom. The Big Six eligibility rules state that
after an individual has been matriculated four weeks in any of the
Big Six schools he is in resideree at the school in which he matricu-
lates. He could not possibly have gone to Oklahoma that semester and
have been counted a semester in residence there. lowever, he did just
that in open defiance of the rules. The rules are crystal clear. ‘The
second semester, of course, he was in Oklahoma and he could not heve |
been eligible by any way of thinking until the end of this present
- Semester. However, Oklahoma did play him in five games when he was a
one-semester freshman. The rules plainly state that it is the res-
ponsibility of the athlete transferring end the university to which |
he goes to clarify this, and it should not have been the responsibility
of any other school or individual to have called this to the oonfer-

Undoubtedly, you will hear from Doctor Allen in the very near
future

Dear Phog:

We are planning a trip with the school Basketball team and would
like a game for December 27th or thereabout with your team. Our
Aero "Tech" team is the same as a good College or University teame

The boys on our team are Airplane Mechanics and Engineering students
in this Goverment Approved School and have AeAel. cardse We play
college and A-AeUe teams in Southern California.

Enclosed is a clipping of an early season game in which we defeated
20th Century-Fox, National AAU. Champions, with their full team,
as you may notice.

We have a hard, clean playing, well coached team. The men average
around six foot tall, none over six foot two. They come from the
South, Middle West and Fast for one year end two year courses. Our
school has an enrollment between 900 and 1000 boys the year around.
If you would like to check up on the caliber of this team write
Basketball Coach Wilbur Johns at University of California at Los
Angeles.

Please write and let us know what kind of a deal you can offer.
Is it worth while for a 60=40 deal?

If impossible wovld you be kind enough to get in touch with a
good club or college team in your town and see if they are inter-
estede

Thanking you, we remain

Yours very truly,

Dear Sir

I am wondering if it would not be possible for

you to find a place for us on your next. wintér's
basketball schedule. Iiay I, without any spirit

of boasting, tell you that the Thoroughbreds
during the past season won sixteen games and lost
only three. ‘they also won the championship of the
Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference,

lost to Western Kentucky in the finals in the
Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association, and
lost to San Diego, California in the finals of the
National Tournament at Kansas City. We have a
very colorful team and I believe we would be an
éxcellent drawing card for you if we play at your
place.

Hoping that you may find it possible to place us
on your schedule, I am,

Sincerely yours

Dear Mir, Allen:

Would you consider bringing your fine basketball team to
Winfield for a game with Southwestern College on December eighth
or ninth, the twenty-ninth or thirtieth, or January first to tenth
inclusive?

If you would consider such a game, under what financial
consideration would you agree to play it?

I know you are coming up with one of your greatest teams and
that we would probably be unable to give you a hard contest, but
due to the fact so many K. U. alumni reside here, we are anxious
to have you play again on our schedule.

Trusting that you may see your way clear to play us, I remain,

Very truly yours,
