Dear Capte Messengers :

I was tremendously interested in your mew wooden booths —
which you coustructed for your two competing teams and your officialse

It is uy opinion thet you have done something that should be
copied by every aduinistrative officer in charge of basketball. You
separate the players and officials from the crowds This is & very proe
- gressive step and I am proposing thet our conference inaucurete such a
measures Therefore, I would appreciate it very much if you would send
me either the blueprints, specifications or sketch of your arrangement,
giving height, width and space allotted to each team and officials groupe

I would appreciate this information at your conveniences, We
have a nesting of our BigeSix basketball coaches in Kansas City on Mareh 22,
and I should 1 ke to have this far enough in advance so that I could send
each one of them a copy of your sketch, This will enable them to study
the same with the view of recommending it to their respective Athletic
Boards and they in turn can install it in their ficldhousess

I would especially like to be remembered to Cole Le%e Hibbs,
mor Oek. Niess and ire Rowland Lo gate

We remember our trip with unbounded pleasure and gratitude.

Sincerely your's

- Director of Physical Education and Recreation
