My notion was that this organigation would be one of voluntary
membership. No college or organization would be forced into it, but
if conferences now organized, which are faculty controlled, should have
@ czar who would handle the matter as Judge Landis hes handled organized
baseball, then most of our proselyting and subsidizing would end because
the word “shall” would force the commissioner to do the things that the
netional baseball commission has forced Judge Landis to do. If it were
optional, and the word “may“ were used, then the whole power of the
commissioner would be lost. |

Of course, these schools would schedule games only with members
in the organization, and any team not a member could only schedule
with outsiders.

It was my idea that until we stopped the activity of the alumi
and the coaches and athletic directors who are tied in closely with |
this chain system of athletic material procurement, then we will never
improve a very bad situation.

My only desire in setting this idea out to the public was in the
hope that the college presidents would see a way out. Of course, they
would have to initiate it. No one else could. Certainly I am not

looking for a job.

Very cordially yours,

Director of Physical Education,
