Mr. Henry Firner,
Buildings and Grounds.

Dear Henry:

Last year I remember that we had difficulty during basketball
season in synchronizing the two clocks in Hoch Auditorium. The
one on the east ran too fast, I believe. At least, they were not
together. There was some work done on them, but only for one game,
I think, were they satisfactory.

I am bringing this matter up early so that something could be
done on the clocks before basketball season rolis around. We have
a tentative game during Homecoming, =p apa ae aoe a a ns
1 we will play our first game here at home.

ese it will be necessary for any sizeable atin to fix

this thing I wish you would let me know so that I can take it up
with the proper authorities. Certainly I realize that we may have
some kick beck from the Athletic Association, who already paid a
iet more than they thought they should pey, but that is neither here
nor there.

At the present moment we realize that each coach who comes here
will have just complaint if the two clocks are not tegether. We
cannot explain to them one cleck is official and one is not, because
the players in their excitement are apt to look up at one olock and
get confused as to whether it is official or not. I am sure that
you can readily see this point, and since it will mean so meh grief
to us the way it is I think we should start to remedy the defect be-
fore the time for dissatisfaction arrives. Don't you agree with me?

Won't you check on this matter and let me know what it will take
