COLLEGIATE BASKETBALL OFFICIALS BUREAU CENTRAL OFFICE FOR EASTERN INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS a ; BILTMORE HOTEL, NEW YORK CITY ASA S. BUSHNELL o Director : February 4, 1941 - ‘ University of Kansas A. A. oo Lawrence, Kansas. Dear Phog: This will sicawieaen with thanks the receipt of your letter of January 20. Your recommendation of Dudley DeGroot of Rochester has been ee read with interest, and is greatly appreciated. I have had ee other favorable estimates of DeGroot, and gather from them oo and from your own comments thet he is an wusually capable eas basketball official. The present field of the Bureau's activities is not such as to make any resident of Rochester readily available for use. However, our territory is expanding and it is not unlikely that before long we will be in position to make it feasible eee to call upon DeGroot for officiating service. You may be sure aoe that he will be kept in mind in the interim, and that he will oe be given full consideration at the earliest possible moment. It was a pleasure to see you on the occasion of your recent visit to New York, and I am hopeful that when you are next here you will make a point of constituting the Central Office one of your points of call. With best regards, I am, Singerely yours, Asa S. Bushnell ae ASB:JOL
