Dear Phog:

 

Artie Wilers writes me that he stopped off and had a talk with

you recently and that he told you that I would contact you in
regard to the dope for the basketball guide as well as some records
of Valley basketball which I thought possibly you would have.

Although I regularly earn my living as a member of the Register
sports staff here, I do a little sideline work for the Valley
conference. I that capacity this summer I am endeavoring to

get together the basketball records of the past. I have the league
standings and all the scores from 1929 to date, but I have only

the name of the championship school from 1923 to 1929 and not a
darned thing before that,

First of all I need the names of the champions from 1908 to 19235,
Then, if possible, I would like to get the final standings in all
the years between 1908 and 1929. Of course, I would like all

the scores during this period but I doubt very emggx much if they
could be secured.

I assure you that I will appreciate any of this information you
can supply without going to too much trouble. I know that if any-
body in the country can give me the dope on Missouri Valley
basketball history, you are that man,

Artie said something about stories for the 1937 guide. Several
months ago I sent in a review of the Valley season. Me said that
you might combine the Valley and “ig Six in another story. If there
is anything I can furmish you on our end of it don't hesitate to
ask it.

You probably don't remember me, but I accompanied you, Sec Taylor,
and Mr. and Mrs, Hartley back from a basketball game
at Ames a coupte of years ago.

  
      

Thankx for anything you can do to help me out. Sincerely yotirs,
