Prof. ti. W. Davis
Prank Strong Hall
Campus

i am writing you to ask a bit of help. If my recollection of
events is correct, you and your Senate committee on athletics
and physical education recommended to the Senate for ‘their
consideration that I be appointed in charge of recreation for
the University. This, of course, to apply to this years

When this came up before the Senate in their meeting, Mr. Posey
recommended that this recommendation be referred back to the
committee. I have no knowledce that this was ever brought up
by the committee after Mr. Posey's motion. I do not get the
point of Er. Posey's action, but that wes done, nevertheless.

Now, here's the problem. During the winter we have recreation
not under the control of the Athletic Association or even the
Départment of Physical Education, I think it should really

be called, “Recreation®. I am enclosing a letter that Chancellor

Walott wrote me regarding skiing and a copy of my reply to hime
He in turn replied to me as of Bot. 14. Wy reply to him is here-
with also enclosed. I am wondering if you, az chairman, will be.
willing to follow up the action of the Senate committee and the
consequent act of Mr. Posey with intent to either smoking this
terse gentleman out or finding out what he had in mind when he
made this motion. If this ection of Er. Posey's has never been
brought up before the committee, why can't you, as chairman of the
committee, work it out when there’s been so much smoke?

Thank you, Colonel, very much.
Sincerely,

Director of Physical Education and Recreation
