I called Dr. Bergman and he said that /this is a matter for the faculty eligibility committee to decide and that this committee of Dr. King, chairman, Professor Davis and Dr. Bergman have all the facts in the case. He further stated that pene is nothing for the athletic directors or the basketball coaches to do in a case of this kind and that the ruling will be made by the Faculty Elipibility Committee.)

LEM/MJR. Mr. J. Fuller Groom, ; Northwestern National Life Insurance Co., 313-14 Orpheum Building, : Wichita, Kansas. Dear Mr. Groori: | I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of January ird relating to Gerald Tucker's eligibility for competition in the Big Six Conference. This is a matter for the faculty eligibility committee to decide, and this committee of Dr. King, chairman, Professor Davis and Dr. Bergman, have all the facts in the case. There is nothing for the athletic directors or the basketball coaches to do in a case of this kind, and the ruling will be made by the faculty eligibility committee. If their ruling is adverse to Oklahoma, Oklahoma has the right to appeal to the faculty re- presentatives of the Big six Conference, which they have done. I believe that you will quite agree with me that s a legally constituted authority, and it is perhaps best te them for their decision. Just as you have constituted au in your Northwestern National, we have authority vested in our faculty representatives. These men are all friends of the students as each of them has been connected with student life for over thirty years. For that reason I am very sure that whatever enthusiasm we have it should be directed in the line of fair play and enthusiasm fer people who follow the rule. At no time in the history of the world have rudes and laws meant so little to people as now. If a rule is breken someone tries to throw on some extraneous situation and smoke screen the issue as These Big Six faculty representatives are on their respective athletic boards and they perhaps have had a great many cases of this kind to consider before. | Would it be fair, Mr. Groom, to say that when a man broke the rule that the conference kicked him out, i Sane Ree ee I made a statement on November 26 at Cape Viediees Missouri, when I spoke to the Teachers College there at their football banquet, that we should have a high commissioner or czar of sports and that this czar should have authority to go in and investigate situations and where a coach has been responsible to the extent of getting a boy te a school which was clearly against the rules that this czar should investigate the matter. If he found against the coach, the coach should be fired and the boy, whether partly innecent or guilty, should meet the fate that the ezer prescribed for him. I still think that this is good agministration, and if we had such enforced now I believe the rules would be respected. Thanking you fer your letter, I am Very sincerely yours, ‘Director of Physical Baucation end Recreation, Varsity Basketball and Baseball Ceach.

FULLER GROOM, REPRESENTATIVE 313-14 ORPHEUM BUILDING WICHITA, KANSAS DIAL 2-2155 Jamary 53,1941. Mr. Phog Allen, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansase Dear Mr, Allen; I am writing this letter to you,hoping that it may reach the officials who are responsible for ruling against the eligibility of Gerald Tucker of 0.U. to play in the Big Six games this season, I , of course, know nothing of your personal attitude in the matter, and am expressing what I believe to be what the average Kamsam is thinking _ who is interested in College Basketball, To me the whole objection seems very technical. While there may be some grounds for ruling against Tucker, isnt this rule there to protect the schools against professionalism and the raiding of athletesfrom another school?. Alig one who knows Gerald Tucker knows that as a student he makes top grades, is trying to equip him- self to play his part in this world, and lacks any taint of professio nalism at all, To take advantage of what we in the ranks think is a trivial technicality , to keep a good man from playing in the regular games is going to make the championship of the Big Six a pretty hollow sort of thing, Most of us will be saying ,whenever a team beats 0.U,, " Yes, but you had to kick Tucker out to do it, be Another thing, this young man will playing with Uncle Sam » He doubt , a year fram now, and may never again have the privilege of playing for any University, While this may be ‘sob stuff*, yet let us te fair to these young bucks who mst go into the front lines for us, and give them a break for tye next few months, I am a Kmsan, have always been so, and in any game between 0.U. ami either Kansas State or K.U. would always be found rooting for our teams, but I am afraid my enthusiasm wuld't be very keen,if I mat see our teams play 0.U. without Tucker in the lineup, Will you be so kind as to forward this letter to those responsible for deciding against the eligibility of Tucker, as I believe the sentiments,herein, represents the cross section of Kansans who are interested in Kmsas Collegiate sports, Sincere A 2 4 a Cc.

Mr. Dan Partner, Sports Desk, The Kansas City Star, Kansas City, Mo. Dear Dan: I am sending you in confidence copies of the letters I have written to Professor W. W. Davis, faculty representative, and to Gwinn Henry, the Athletic Director. _ ~*fhank you-very-much for sending me a copy of your fine write- up regarding Gerald Tucker. You certainly made a strong case against Tucker's participation and you close your article with a . bang. Certainly if they let this fellow play this year there isn't any rule in the Big Six that the faculty representatives and directors haven*t fractured terribly. If they let him play then it looks as if these rules are only for the convenience of those in power to handle in whatever manner they want and to take advantage or disadvantage of any situation that they care to distort or to nurture to their own ends. I do not know what your next move is but I think you are in a wonderful position to show up the frailties or the strength of the rules of this organization. Thank you for your good wishes, Dan. I am very sure that we will not have an undisputed Big Six championship besause Iowa State is much stronger than we are at the present. ile had but four prac- tises in the auditorium before we played Denver, and due to the fact that the Christmas Vespers use it the week before Christmas for prac- tice and display, we could not play any games. We were too young an outfit to travel because we needed to develop the fundamentals so necessary in a young team. All the other conference teams have piayed more but I preferred to stay here during Christmas vecation and work on fundamentals, and allow ‘the other teams to take their trips. I feel that we get more out of it by dint of hard work, and while we may not be very hot at the begiming of the year I think we will improve in strength and playing form. =Ze Confidentially, Ralph Miller is in no condition to go over five minutes, and I have a few boys who have not seen fit to train properly, but they are traveling a rocky road. There is no dissension because I will not permit it, but there are some of the boys who did not train in the fall season and have not the philosophy and the will — power so far to see the needs of doing a full training job. However, these fellows won't play long, I assure you, if they play at all. Before the year is over we will have a scrapping outfit, but when you consider that perhaps Sollenberger of last year’s team will be the only fellow who will play in the regular starting line-up, you can see what a Herculean task I have. Buescher played very little last year and Vance Hall played but a short while. It looks to me as if Charlie Black, Ray Evans, Marvin Sollenberger, Vance Hall, Jack Ballard, fT. P. Hunter and Bob Johnson will form the nucleus of the outfit. Bob Johnson is called for January 2nd in the draft but he is trying to get into P. 7 Naval Reserve. We will know later today about that. Charlie Walker is a boy who played in only a few games, to- gether with Max Kissell, another sophomore - these are about all that I have together with Don Ettinger (7). | We will play some very good games and then at other times we will be like we were in the Denver game - just ome jump ahead of a good coordinated team - not enough poise and a lack of a leader as quarterback to handle the boys. But as it appears to me none of the Big Six teams are powerfully strong outside of Iowa State, and per- haps Kangas State - they should come along. Missouri will surprise. They will win more ball games than a lot of the wise ones think. “4th all good wishes to you and Mrs. Partner for a very happy and prosperous New Year, I am Sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education and Recreation, Varsity Basketball and Baseball Ceach.

Dear Dan: | : Tt an enswering your letter immediately and sending you a marked copy of the Rules and Regulations ¢ mg Ath- letics and all participation of the M.V.IeAeA. On pages 8 and § are the regulations regarding eligibility. fone ve On page 9 it says, “A semester of residence shall be defined as any semester in which the student hes registered in the school and has participated in athleties or has not withdrawn from sehool within four weeks from the date of his registration.” 7 ae I am sure that it wes more than four weeks before Gerald Tucker withdrew from Kensas State. Therefore, his firat semester of residence would have to be at Manhattan. He could not possibly be eligible his first semester at Oklahoma accord- ing to this ruling. And if he was counted a resident at Men- hattan for the first semester he could not possibly be eligible at Oklehome until the beginning of the second semester this year. : a, “The eligibility rules of this association shall epply to every student competing in any recog- nized athletic contest as a representative of any member of this association.” "Shall" is mandatory. And then later i says, “No person shall participate mless he is a bona fide student". And he could not have been a bona fide student at Oklahoma for ene year because he had attended classes for more than four weeks at Manhattan before he withdrew. : is competition in the east is illegal because he actually has not been at Oklahoma for one year. If Commissioner Atherton or any other commissioner with intestinal fortitude here oomalssioner of the Big Six he would rule or would have ruled Gerald Tucker ineligible to compete witil the second semester, 1942. The rule is as plain as anything could be, but you ean see my point of view. If I protested, since Kansas is - the first sohool to play Oklahoma, they would ory, “Sour grapes". It will be an easy matter for you to find out the date that Tucker matriculated at Kansas State and the date that he with- dpow. By getting this information you can blast somebody if wen they permit Tucker to play in the Big Six before the end of the I will daresay that if Tucker were a football player and desired to compete under these rules there would be _ protest to keep him from participating. “ut many of the athletic directors in the Big Six are not concerned about stirring up any administrative disturbanse unless it affects their own personal ~ situation. It is too bad that the administration is so lax. Out- side of Mike Ahearn and possibly George Veenker, there is very little to hope for in the way of durable administrative outlook. : Let me know if I ean be of any service in giving you further informations 7 With all good wishes, I am Very sincerely yours, Direater of Physical Education end Recreation, Varsity Basketball and Baseball coach.
