One hundred new double beds are already in place. At your convenience, Doctor, I would like very much to drive up to Lawrence to discuss this meeting with you, for I believe you would be pleased with our new set- up.e Drop me a line when I might.see you.

Allen Department of Physical Educatim University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Fogg: Received your letter of the 10th. There is not much information that I ean give you at this time. The correspondence that I had with John Bunn was chiefly concerning my duties as a Rules Committee member in gathering material from the entire Pacifie Coast for next year's rule book as well as distributing the questionaire, Briefly, he sug- guested that I teke over all of the duties that he had in connection with basketball and the National Association. At the suggestion of Doe Bohler of W.S.C., who was a member of a committee of three to se- lect a team from the Pacific Coast, Mr. Bunn has agreed to remain on the committee(is taking Bohler's place). This gives the Conference @ representative on the comuittee in the southern end of the Conference otherwise we would not have had one. You asked about the probable representative from the Coast and specifically about U.S.C. I think it is quite probably that U. S. C. will be the Western Coast representative. Thus far they have won all their games in the South. Oregon State is leading the Northern Di- vision at present. Though Oregon, a team ecmsiderably revamped from the team which played in Madison Square Gerdens during the Holideys, is in second place, they're really "going to town." They ran up a seventy- one and sixty points on Washington State in their two-game series Mon=- day and Tuesday nights of this week. They may succeed in passing the Oregon Aggies and if they do, they're going to be tough as they have in the front court three men two of whom are six feet,seven inches in height and one six feet four inches. One of the six feet, seven inch men can jump like a kengaroo and shoots well. My team for the first time since I have been at Washington has relieved me of championship anxiety before the last week of the season. . 304 Clark Hall Melrose 0630 UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON SEATTLE I will see you in Kansas City at the annual meeting, but un- doubtedly I will have occasion to correspond with you again before that time.
