Because of other commitments and our own basket ball season, we will be unable to participate this week end.

You mention Fridey, but the date is Saturday. — I have written for reservetions at the Hotel Lincoln but have not heard from them as yet. I do hope to see you but I doubt if I will be able to have luncheon with you, much as I would enjoy it. Our boys are pretty badly crippled and some are sick, and I be- lieve I will stay pretty close to them. However, I certainly would enjoy seeing you et the game as I am anticipating plenty of trouble from Nebraska and it ma; be you will get a good chance to see us get licked. Our big rebounder and star pleyer, Charlie Black, is in the hospitel with pneumonia and of course he will not be alonge This will weaken our chances of victory very materially. Most anything can happen when your star is out. _ I trust that you and your family are well, and I am happy to state that ours are.

I can appreciate what a difficult time you must have with some of those half- » toady boys from the east.

But I have here on my desk a sopy of Dick Dunkel's Team Rating and Forecast for the week ending January 16, 1943. Not so much for your information, but so that you can give an explanation to those toady boys, I am sending you an excerpt from this rating sheet which should explain to those fellows (although they may not get it) the things that an ordinary citizen would have no difficulty in absorbing. "Dick Dunkel's ratings are based on the cumulative eorrelation of scoring differential with rating of opposition, and they have been. continuous since the 1935 season. They show the potential scoring difference between any two toams. Thus, a 45.0 team should defeat a 55.0 team by 10 points, if they were to meet on a neutral court and play strictly according to past performance. However, research Seen ee cn ree ee ek ee ee ee OS points better on its home court than when visiting. Therefore, in the forecast below, 2.0 points have been added to the neutral rating of each home team, and 2.0 points have been subtracted from the neutral rating of each visiting team. The standings show neutral ratings only. a en winners since 1935." ¢ He then lists the ten national leaders as follows: l. Creighton 73.7 6. Duquesne 72.8 2. So. California 73.7 7.
