Dear Dr. Allen:

In regard to the officials, I have decided three officials
can handle this tournament, and am endeavoring to secure
three of the best officials that I can gete I have not heard
from them yet, but have already contacted Ab Hinshaw and Ted
O'Sullivan of Kansas City; and Gene Kemper will probably work.

I am sure that it can be arranged for you to select the
two officials out of the three that you wish to have work your
ball games.

As to the balls, I am endeavoring to have the type of
ball you suggested in your letter. In regard to the high
school clinic with Mr. Thomas that I spoke. to you about, lI
will say that this clinic is under Mr. Thomas' direction. He
is planning this for the high school coaches, and it will be
through him that you should take the matter of the clinic up
withe

I thoroughly agree with you that you have a talking point
and I certainly don't blame you for mentioning the fact that
theré should be some remuneration for your time and energy.
Any other suggestions that you might have, 1 am always glad to

hear from youe ‘

We are receiving publicity daily from the teams who are
entering the tournament. Everything, I think, is coming along
OK.

You hada nice game with your freshmen last night, and it

looks as though you are going to have a fine team at Kansas
this year. Good luck to you.

Sincerely yours,

A

Dee Errickson
Coach of Baskethall
