Deer Mae:

I am sending you a carbon copy of a letter that I
have written to Seines Peters. This ia confidential and
i would not want you to use it in any my - it is just
- Lor your own information.

of the letter that I have written Sec. The only people to
whom I have sent copies are you and Sec, and of course to
George Veenker and Louie Menze.

It is a pretty tough spot in which to win e ball game.
As you Imow, all of the fellows eroumd that area are a
that it cost too much to bring the boys to Kansas City, but
Louie, wio happened to live in Kansas City, always has
officials here in Lawrence that he has had very close oontact
with - previously Parke Carroll, Reaves Peters, Eddie Hogue,
end those boys, while we teke fellows many of whom are

"homers", and certainly all of them never get out of that

territory. We are getting pretty mich fed up on that Towa
State provincial attitude, and certainly for the future we
want officials that work at Lawrence and other places once
in a while, as well as at Ames.

I missed your sport colum last night and hope that
you are not ill. Take good care of yourself, mister.

Sineerely yours,

Direetor of Physical Education,
