Major John Le Griffith,
Commissioner of Athleties,
6 North Michigan Ave.,
Chicago, Ill.

Dear Major Griffith:

We are to play Tllinois this
year in footballs» When we played Wisconsin, we
did not understand the arrangement ae the
selection of officials by the commissioner of

athletics of the Big Ten, We do now, 80 we want
to know what date the selection is made.

Do we submit the list of offi-+
elals that we desire or do you pick them from
the available list thet you now have on hand. .
We would like to have Jim Masker, or some of those
splendid officials work for uss I am just merely
writing you for information.

) _ I know of the ruling that no
official can work in the Big Ten unless he has
had a previous game im a non eonference game in
the Big Tens We of course receive many letters
from officials who want to work and in this way
it will relieve us of the burden. However we
would like to know the funcarental way of doing
the thing so that we may cooperate with you in
the fullest.

Very cordially yours,

Directors
