There are two situations that embarrassed them no end and that was the play “Oklahoma” and the Bob Hope show. Dorman said that he is going to be out of his office all day but that : the Board of Directors have a meeting at the Munidipal Auditorium — at 4:00 P.M. and he wants you to call him there at that time without fail.

November 7, 1944. Mr. BE. C. Quigley, Director of Athletics, University of Kansas. Dear Mr. Quigley: Through a space of several years I have endeavored ie the written and spoken word to bring to the attention of the legally constituted authorities, namely the college presidents, that something be done about the observance of the rules printed in their handbook for the guidance of our athletic people. Practically every rule in the Missouri Valley (Big Six) handbook is being violated. And the sad part about it is that the ones who violate the most rules are the most successful in winning games and championships. It is synonomous with Hitler's invasion of the Ruhr. None of the Allied Nations stepped forth to stop it, and the Hitlerian comyenn? went on. To go blithely along in a fool's paradise by observing every one of these rules seems to spell failure for men who follow the code. Therefore, I am writing you-this date this letter to be never used unless at some time in the future it is to show that I recognize this situation and in the event of none of the schools in the Big Six doing anything about it, then merely to inform you that some of the practices of our neighbors may be followed by us in so- called legitimately attracting superior students with athletic ability to our campus. — Very cordially yours, Director of Physical Education, FCA: AH | ' Varsity Basketball Coach.
