Frankly, I was disappointed down ASS@QIATED PRESS BURTED PRESS. INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE The Wichita Beacon EVENING AND SUNDAY M@RNING M. M. LEVAND, PRESIDENT WIGHITA, KANSAS Jenuary 17, 1941 there, but 1 was also aware that the team wasn t mentally fit for the opening game. I felt reasonably certain that ena would come along for both Iowa State and Missouri. What's wrong with Engleman? I see Missouri held him down to 25 points! I called Mr. Frank Ripple, manager of the Allis, relative to your team stopping there at the $1.50 rate. At first, he wasn't so hot on the idea, but I reminded him of the previous agreement and he admitted that it was only the proper thing to do. So please write him as soon as possible to make final arrangements. In view of the fact that your "B" team is also playing I told him that you would most likely want reservations for 20. Your letter did not state the number of men who would make the trip. I am extremely sorry that Dr. Neff called wanting to cencel the game. The | very thought of such a precedure was most disgusting. I know he has been ( around intercollegiate athletics for a long time and should have known petter. I'll admit “ichite hasn't had such a hot season, but the Shockers aren't the : first basketball team to collapse. It may be that they will hit a winning stride before long. Anyway, I know the game will draw plenty of people and I am certain that both institutions will make money. We have some elaborage pub- licity progrems planned and regardless of whether theother paper cooperates we will put over ¢he show for you. By the way, please +611 Horace Mason to save me a seat in the press box for the Oklehoma game at Lawrence. I shall enjoy seeing you reverse that Noman decision if for nothing else than the mad dash from Norman to Oklahoma City. With kindest personal regards and wishing you continued success in the Big Six basketball race, I aun Yours truly, ek Jack Copeland ports Editor je/vw I have just had a letter from my good friend Jack Copeland in which he states that you will make us the usual rate of $1.50 per person for our basketbell team when we cone to your city for our game on February Se This was the rate we obtained Igst year when we played jm the BigeSix Tournemente : definitely determined as yote Ina very short while I will be able to give you this information and will write youe Thanking you for your consideration, I am, Very cordially yours, Director of Physical Education and Recreation Varsity Basketball Coach January 16, 1941 Mire. Jack Copeland The Wichita Beacon Wichita, Kansas Dear Jacl: I ¢ertainly enjoyed my visit with you on my way back from Norman, although our team played terrible balle We did somewhat better against Iowa State but again I am afraid for them against Missouri tonight, because it seens this outfit never pleye two good games in succession, They always have to put out so much to overcome the height advantage of the opponents, that they are generally toc tired out to do much for the next encounters While our boys are somewhat tall, near six feet, none of them are heavy except Klinee All of then wei gh about 165 pounds and that is not much in this Bige Six Leagues Jack, I want you to do a favor for me, will you? I wderstand the Wichita hotels are pretty much crowded due te the business boom, last year the Allis Hotel gave us rates of $1.50 per man, two men in the room, per daye After the Tournament I went to the management of the Allis Hotel and made reservations for this year at the same rate, because we had already tentatively - scheduled this game@e ‘The management definitely give me his word that the price would be the same and all I had to do was to write when we were ready to come and he would fix us upe «& When Mrge Alien and I drove to Austin, Texas last summer we stayed overnight in Wichita and I again stopped in to talk to the management, telling him about the game and he said it was okmy againe However, since the business boon, I am afraid they may want to raise the rates on us and I want you to protect mée Ve want to come down there on the Streamliner the morning of the 2nde We thought we would work out at the Forum, if it is open that day, and stay all night in Wichita both the 2nd and the 3rd, and will come back on the Streamliner the morning of the 4th,» You see, there is no school in session as it is between semesters, and since we would have to buy our players food here, it is practically as. cheap to buy it in Wichita, By going in a day earlier, you could take some shots of the team and build up the publicity a little better. ) Will you kindly let me hear from you after you have seen the Allis manager? We want to be assured of the fact that they will give us the price they quoted originally, Then I will write the Allis Hotel, but first I want you to break the ground for mée I will appreciate this very muche I have contacted Horace Mason and will see that he sends you ad= ditional information to that already sent youe Mire Jack Copeland . Jane 16, 1941 Page 2 ? x Mre Knapp of the Wichita University called me and wanted to cancel the game, but since it is very difficult for us to get another game at this time, and since we wanted to use this as a break wmbetween semesters, I am sorry we could not call it off. We would then have no game from January 20 wmtil February 10. That is a long time between games.
