Dear Dean Bunn:-

My delay in answering your letter is occasioned

by the fact that I had difficulty in getting in
touch with the Chairman of the Basketball Committee
for the Seventh District, and so the various
correspondence had to be forwarded to me.

I don't know whether I can do any good at this
late date, but I am enclosing a copy of the letter
I am sending today to Harry Carlson who is, as you
may know, Director of Athletics at the University
of Colorado.

I agree with you that it is quite important if a
National Tournament is to be held that the out-
standing team in each District be chosen. As a
matter of fact, I am very much interested in this
whole matter at the present time and since the
Executive Committee of the N.C.A.A., of which I
happen to be a member this year, is meeting in
Chicago on Saturday I imagine there will be a
pretty full discussion of the whole thing.

I wonder if it would be too much trouble for you,
on receipt of this letter, to wire me at the Hotel
Stevens in Chicago, where I shall arrive on Friday,
telling me what team has been finally picked from
the Seventh District, and whether it has accepted.
I appreciate thoroughly the amount of difficulty
the arrangement of such a Tournament involves and I
stand ready to be helpful wherever possible.

Sincerely yours,
Serer ttonn Rene,
Thurston J. Davies
