Chancellor Deane We Malott
Office of the Chancellor

Dear Chancellor Malott:

Certainly we will do everything we can immediately
to repair the wire netting backstops at the sonerete courts.

Budgetary balances have been badly kicked to
pieces in repairing the backstops for the other tennis courts.
Labor shortages and procvrement of the necessary wire netting
Rave also caused bottlenecks. ,

Certainly now, if at any time, we nee@ everyone
of our tennis courts and other recreative facilities in the best
possible shapes ihe

: I can share the unhappiness of the students when they
fail to find the tennis courts rolled and lined at times.

It costs us $1.00 per day per court to rolY and
mark these playing surfaces. A rain obliterates all markings ana
- gO you can begin to see what showers cost us. Getting these courts
marked again taxes our labor supply.

if the Athletic Department has need for Wr. Davidgson
and his helper, it is necessary for us to wait until these workmen ~
can give us @ share of their time.

I am sure you can see the Uiubere withant further
elaboration, but we will get it dorie somehow. I mean pronto$
But just how will be another problem,

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
Varsity Basketball Coach.
