Dear Os:

Consistent with Mr. H. G. Olsen's inconsistencies and
errors of omission and errors of commission, I would like to
eall your attention th the discrepancies of the N.C.A.A. Tourna-
ment All-Time Resume, on page 51, under the championship wimer.
This states that in 1940 Indiana defeated Springfield, Duquesne
and Washington State.

State was not in the playoff tournament. It
ow But this is moming true to form as far
aS Mr. aed"s adearaay 50 amamuraaks i say, that knowing that
ii, Olsen gave you this information doubtless since he was chair-—
man of the N.C.AA. tournament.

: One suggestion seems to me rather appropriate, that is
instead of giving a full page for the %.C.A.A. tournament draw,

it would be m:ch better to give the Eastern playoff and the West-
ern playoff, end then the final game between the Eastern and the |
Western winners. While the H.C.A.A. tournament draw is important,
the Eastern and Western. playoff would give a scnposi te picture for
both sections each year.

With all good wishes, I am
