Dear Doc:

I have your letter relative to the basketball
officiating. I too think it is best to have the
same two officials working at both places, and as
to crossing off officials from our list whom we
object to, I feel that we are justified in doing
this anytime we have lost confidence in the official.
I have doneit in tlh past and will continue to do it,
as I don't like to go into a game if I have no confidence
in the men working. The matter of a few dollars expense
should not enter into it; after all this is ow bread
and butter.

We had the best night of the season against you.
It wasn't that Kansas was playing poorly, we simply were
hitting for once in the season. We mde 35% of our
attempts, against a season's play of 24%. We would
have been tough for anybody that night.

Hope that all is well with you and yours. Bob and
his wife will be home this weekend for fifteen days. I
hope to get in some golf with him. Keith was home the
middle of March; he seems to be getting along okay.

Best wishes.

sifcerdly,

_eseee
