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. .
