Lewis, 509 Olive Street, Ste Louis, Missourie Dear Poge:s This is in reply to your good letter of the 29th ultimo, Let me suggest tet you write at ounce to George Veenker, who is my successor as secretary of the Big Six directors. The athletic directors and coaches are meeting at Kansas City this week end, and they may pick officials. But, really, Poge, the football coaches are meeting now among themselves and making the selections, and then after the selections are made the secretary of the Big Six writes to these officials andi asis if they can worke . Only in case of their not working or some break in the — liaison is the secretary of the directors asked te secure’ anyone else. | | He then commmicates with the directors end they with their coaches, asking for nominations, and after the nominations are made for positions that were not filled at that megting, then the secretary of the directors does function. The way I handled it was to get the nominations, write the officials, and if they coul@ work, ell was set. If they couldn't, we asked the coaches for other nominations | and then mttempted to procure officials aceording td that scheme. Biff? Jones, Stidhams,'Wes Fry, Don Faurot, Ad Lindsey — and Kruger are the boys that will pick their respective officials.

I am sorry that our financial condition is such that we cannot avail ourselves of the information in your new book. However,the case is such that our resources are very limited; our having a new building to pay for and a few other projects that have cut down our money for athleties. We have a sting little ball club though for our class school though and have a splendid athletic spirit.The type of opposition most common to our teams here is of the man to man type.Practic- ally all the teams that we meet use this form of play and defense. My boys and I will appreciate it very much if you can see fit to sketch us a few plays that are suitable for use against such a defense as outlined above.I told my players of your letter and they were highly pleased to have had a communication fpom you as of course they are keen followers of the game and familiar with your work.:.ssuring you of our thanks and apprecietion,I beg to remain, Respectfully Yours, t . att J.T.Logan, Gdach.
