FeCoAe #2 November 14, 1939

have in its make-up more men of the “director” or "faculty" type rather
than active coaches. The thought was expressed that so often coaches
are so occupied in their own work of coaching that they don't make, in
a good many instances, the best type of committee member. Perhaps you
have heard this thought expressed before. I am not sure I subscribe

to that entirely and yet I suppose it is something we might well keep
in mind when we are thinking of the makeeup of our tournament committee.

There was some question raised also in this Executive Committee
meeting as to the use of men on our committees who were not connected in
any way with the N.C.A.A. Do you feel we can successfully operate this
season without using newspaper men, let us say, on our active committees?
Possibly the answer would be to make use of these men in an advisory
capacity. What do you think of this idea?

At any rate please give this matter of the whole committee
seteup your best thought and let me hear from you as soon as possible.

Very sincerely yours,

A Ot”
