Mr. Reaves Peters, Commissioner, Big Six Conference, S42 So. Chelsea, Kansas City,)Sfo. Dear Reaves: I certainly never nave any complaint nn aman acts from his own convictions. If you feel that no Kansas State man should work the games, that is o.k. with me. . How, I have something else. Van Reen, down at Columbia, told Dean Corder that he had to stand still when he bassed the ball in from out of ‘bounds. ‘The rule is, of course, the ball has to be passed in from_out of pounds three feet from the spot that it goes out. That meana there is a six foot lane, three feet on either side, and the ball could be passed in from anywhere in that area. There is nothing to restrain that player who passes the bali in, from shooting or moving around in that six foot area, the line six or eight feet back from the sideline. cia a Vi ie on 1 eee is we tc tell one of my players he has to stand still. Yan Reen and Lance worked a good game, but Mr. Van Reen is off on this point, and I wish that you would write him, if I am correct in my premise. I tell the boys always to tell me when anything like that comes up so that we can correct it. I said nothing to Van Reen, but I did want Van Reen to know that we ob- jected to his deoision and we are attempting to have it corrected. Now, in regard to these signals. We are printing them in ow program and of course we would want the officials to use them in the game. 1 presume that you have instructed all officials to follow the signals as outlined by youe We are seeing that the scorer gets them and that every-. one in the audience is fully appraised of the signals so that they may er ee ee ; I am passing on your letter to Earl ice be that he will be ‘appraised of the expense maney and also note the personnel of who will work the games. I knew the professional promoters would get singed on this bake ball venture. I am also glad to know that Joe Jacobson has some money | because the Lord knows the teams will need it. They weren't professional promoters either, but they lost some money. Sincerely yours, | Direetor of sons ical Biuowkion, PCA:AH oy _ Varsity Basketball Coach.
