Dear Doc:

I had a talk with Harold Schmidt this morning about my playing
with Kappelman and he said that A. A. U. rules were different
from Intercollegiate rules, and therefore my playing in the
Freshman game would automatically make me a professional, al-
though this rule does not apply to the Freshmen.

If this is the case, it will be impossible for m to compete

in this game on January 7. Schmidty also informed me that he
did not know whether playing with another team would hurt my
standing. He is going to look into this matter for me and try
to get permission fram the A. A. U. for me to play in this game.
If this is the ruling for me, I think it will apply to Noble and
the rest of the boys as well.

I would like to play in this game very much, and I know Noble
does as well, but all this will have to be looked into before
the game.

I thought that you might be able to help us in getting in the
clear, thereby enabling us to play at this time. Please advise
me about these rulings at your earliest possible convenience.

Sincerely,

fa & Ze
