Dear "Phog";-

An impression I got at the time of the interpretation meet-
ing in Kansas City, September 3, was that the Big 6 Conference is
planning on appointing a Commissioner of Officials. It goes
without saying that I would like to be considered in that capacity.
if there is anything that you could do to help me, I surely would
appreciate it.

As far back as 1924, the assignment of officials was made
from this office, as you will remember; and then, too, there were
ten institutions in the Conference. In view of the fact that I
have been doing “his for a number of years, I feel confident that
an arrangement whereby one man making the assignments for both
Conferences would work out most advantageously. I don't believe
there would be any criticism due to my being connected with |
Washington University and identified with the Missouri Valley
Conference. For your information, I made the assignments for
the Missouri Sehool of Mines this year.

 

Had a chance to talk to Dr. Ewerhardt the other day after
the Doctor had returned: from the NCAA executive meeting in Chicago.
The basketball situation was talked of at great length with the
feeling that it may be possible that a chamnionship in basketball
be worked out at the end of the present season, just as we de-
termine the champion in track and swimming. To this end ther
was a committee apnointed--one from each district.

if I remember correctly, he told me that you were appointed
from this district. In fact, there are three coaches and five
athletic directors to make up the committee, and you were one of
Yhe coaches selected. Thoursht you would be interested in setting
this information. ‘

a ae 3 With kind personal regards

Executive Secretary
