Dear Jimmie:

Apparently I did not make myself plain concerning Billy Dewell.
I kmew he was pleying this year, but I referred to the time that we
would play S.%.U. at Lawrenee. +4 Imow that he will give us plenty
of trouble this year, and I know that if he pleyed next year he would
alse give us plenty of trouble. I perhaps should have mode myself
more plaine oe

Iam sending you @ copy of e letter that I wrote Mr. Jack Gray,
basketball eench at the University of Texase This has reference te
the problex of a 60 « 50 ratio on expenses for the officials. Since
we are to pley two games at Dallas and two gaves at Lewrence on
resiproenl guarentees, I personally could net see why we should not
share in the matter of expenses of the officials es well as the other
itense : :

However, this morning Mre Henry passed on to me the signed con=
tracts for the two games at Dalles, and it. 4s perfectly egreeable te
me that your Coagh Baceus submit. « list of names to me, or we can
leave 46 to Jo We Ste Clair, who is commissioner of officialsa, to
do the job. I have perfect confidence in J. We doing it in a very
satisfactory Pashione

The only point that I made, and = still think it is a point
well taken, is thet football has come through these formtive stages
that basketball has note There ic still quite a bit of difference in
sectional officiating, and where we have one official from each lecal-
ity beth years I think it is more satisfactory. However, a3 I said,
we will ebide by your decision. :

= om returning one of the signed copies of the contract for
your files, and the other is being filed in lr. lenry’s office.

With every good wish, I on

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
FOA:AE Varsity Basketball Coach.
