Publicity Director, |
Missouri Valley Conference News Sureau,
Des Moines, Iowa,

Dear Leighton:

; I want to congratulate you heartily on the
get up and output of your very interesting Missouri
Valley Conference Handbook, You have done an excellent
job, and Z think other conferences would do well ¢

copy your style, |
I am indeed interested in this booklet and

I will keep it as a handy reference.

| I am writing all the Wissouri Valley basket-
ball coaches inviting them to sit in a joint meeting
with us on December 4th in Kansas City for the joint
dis cussion and agreement of interpretations of the two
conferences, It happens that I am Sth District Chair-
man of the Basketball Rules Committee, and it is my
desire to cooperate with all of our coaches in the
fullest manner,

By the way, we are expecting to pley Drake
ina desionstration game on December 29, in Des Moines. |
Perhaps See has told you, but if he has not consult
him before you mention it to anyone else,

i want to assure you it is a pleasure to
work with you, and I will be happy to see you in Des
Moines and discuss with you the possibility of an
article in next year’s basketball rules book giving
the outside world the full information on the Missouri
Valley and the Big Six. Of course, each conference
will have its own individual write-up, but it is well,
I thought, to have further dissertation on our territory
for the elucidation of the “foreigners” who do net have |
_ @ working knowledge of the wide open spaces,

With every good wish, I am
Very sincerely yours,
