Dear Doc:

Sorry that Pullian didn't do amore satisfactory
job over at Manhattan. There are so few men left, and travel
so expensive that it is getting tough:

It may be possible to make some sort of a
switch with Pullian from your game with Nebravka. The
most difficult part of thts would be the added expense
of sending him to some other game, and the precedent of
making changes after the assignments are out.

Last year one of the coaches was insistent
on a certain official being taken out of the second game
because of unsatisfactory work in the previous:game. This
is a very dangerous thing tomonkey with.

I know that you are not interested in how this
applies elsewhere, but there are instances every season,in
all conferences where this comes up. Right here in our little
High School League it is hitting me hard. I will probably
loose the championship due to the work of one official, and he
is just as bad as you say Pullina was the other night. This
man will work three of my games, andhe has already lost one
for me, yet I don't feel that I can say a thing. The other
coach, in this case helped select him, and I was in on it
to.

In the event that I am unable to make a change
I will write to Pullian and see if I can't get him straight-
ened out. I know he will be interested in retaining some
standing in the conference. There is the possibility that he
is not conscious of what is ser P ere ne and will be glad to
snap out of it.

Don't think for one minute that I am not fully
aware of just how you feel about this. I know you are always
fair and want to do the right thing, and too I know you will
realize the difficulties involced” here.

Very sincerely yours,

cof Cee tte NA
