Dear "Phog": The letters from the different basket- ball coaches appointed on committees have just started to come in. Received acceptances this morning from George Keogan, George Edwards and J. E. Martie of Nevada. They expressed a willingness to serve in their letters that is pleasing to read, and l think it was a good move to put Martie of Nevada on the committee. Will let you know as soon as I hear from other coaches. Sincerely yours, Ce Director of Athletics AAS: GP August 28, 1927. Mp, A» Ag Schabinger, Creighton University, Omaha, Nebraska. My dear "“Schabbie": Thank you very meh for your good letter of the 25th inste Somehow, I misplaced the letter and could not locate at. I am-sure that practically all of these men Will accept, but I should be glad to have a statomont from you informing me of their acceptance at your conveniences I do not think that 41t will operate against us to have Price and Tebell on the Board, as well as a representative of the 9th dis- trict and third district respectively. I quite agree with you that F,. Krisler would not be eligible. It. just seemed to me that he was basket ball coach because he handled the basket ball tournament for Stagg. However, i think you are richt and I should like to name Everett Dean, Yoach of the University of Indiana, Bloomingtone If you will write Dean and see if he will accept, I think it will be a toa thing. I believe that he should be named Chairman beeause he is close to Chicago and he has been in his own Conference for several years, I believe with the Big Ten entertaine ment committee, it ought to go bige I will drop each one of them a line with just a word of ereet- ing and a wish that we can make the Coaches As- sociation the best ever, Everywhere, 1 cet the reaction that things are going to be dandy in the Coaches Associations 5 | With every good wish, I am Very cordially yours, Director. September 1 9 a 7 Mre Ae Schabinger, Athletic Director, Crayton University, Omaha, Nebraska. My dear Mr. Schabinger: Glad to have your letter giving acceptances of McLaughry of Brown, Novak of Westpoint, McDermott of Oklahoma, and Hagen of Oregon Aggies Sha by, @ soon as you get these acceptances, why would it not be a good plan for you to go ahead, with authority from the president and anyone else that you may want, and have some stationery run out. I should think that some very classy stationery, with the officers, trustees, and members of the committe on the sheot, would do a real bit of service. You — perhaps, send twenty-five or fifty wheets to each officer or member of the eommittec. This work would entail some expenditure, but, by using this stationery to make a proliminary call for help in a rush enrollment to get funds, I. believe that it would be a paying investment. You can ask each one of the officers to s nd in their two dollars at ones. This would give you over a hundred dollars to work on, and each one of the members of the Membership Committee could use this fact, that on the first call for members, you had one hundred per cent responses What do you think of a monogram for the National Basket Coaches Association? I have just sketched one on a piece of paper here, and would ene joy your doing the same thing. I made a very large A to begin with and then set an N on the A. That made the cross bar on the A handle the two B's, and then a © encircling the major portion of the N and it makes a pretty nifty monogram. Try it out, and, if you think that something like this would go big, write me about it. We @ould have this stuff run in two colors, and I believe you could get out some recl nifty sta- #2 | | 9/1. 27 ‘Tt, As Schabinger 7 tionery; then a thin line on the bottom with an ape propriate slogan, What do you think of this idea; : The slogan I haventt eoined in my mind yet. I would like to have your angle. Porhaps there is altogether too much stuff sugcested for one page, but I wanted to get your eriticism at least, If yo. have received the acceptances and the rejections, will you please compile a list of officers, chairmen, and the respective members of the committees, and send me, so that there will be.no possibility of error in zebtine the bone fide members straight in my mind? I have written each one of the respective men- bers, urging that they accept to help along the good ganes I bm receiving some good letters from various coaches, saying thet they have written you accepting, and that they are very happy to do all they ean to boost the sport.

"Shabby", I got sone information regarding one of the members on our publicity committee saying that he was a real Grunkard, ete, If this is the case I think we hed better be sure of our appointment, I had never heard this before. I an wondering if you can cuess who it is, They say that this fellow starts a rough e whenever an ty arrives. Some one has said that when three fellows get together we will have at least one drunk if this fellow is in the party. I do not eare to write these things but I am wondering if you can guess.

Since your letter I have heard from Sehlademan and Mather, I would be = for you to suggest a nomination for the chairmanship of the officials committee. ! I am not sure whether yeu have Mather wrong or not. Ue has had a bad operation and may not be quite well. Ue was one of the first fellows to write in the Acts of Meanwell in kille ing the dribblee I would be gled to have you give me your slant on whet you think about it, i agree with you that if MeNichol does not answer soon that we should appoint someone else in his place on the »resent committee. I also agree ‘with you that it is a matter of good form to have the officials accept in writing. You heve been studying the replies coming to you and I believe you would be in a better position to suggest a chairman in Mather's place than 1 wonld.. I want your counsel please, Schabie.

Regarding the second paragraph in your letter, I know the man you are writing about and while this man may indulge at times he has been grossly thsrepresented to you. At least, as far as my knowledge is concerned--I know of only one occasion where he might have been in this condition and will explain the circumstances to you later, which I know you will understand. While it does not meet with my approval or yours, I do not think that is a habit with this fellow. I am now preparing our stationery and our book with the constitution printed.

I am sure about Murray but do not know about McNichol. You have appointed HE. J. Mather of Michigan as Chairman of the Officials Committee. I just received word from him, and he declined his appointment. I am not surprised. In fact, I thought he would line up with someone else. You know who I mean, and he is the only one. Please appoint someone else as Chairman of that committee, and I will write to him. I have written McNichol a second time and should have heard from him. If we do not get his reply shortly, I suggest appointing some one in his place on the Press Committee. I ghall await your early reply regard- ing the new appointment.

I wrote you but have not heard from yous If you are holding up the appointment, please wire me at my expense, your suggestions and I will aet at onees You have the list before you of all appointments and I thought it would be easier for you to nominate five or six good men that you think would make workers « I had in mind Dean of Indiana but _- seems to me he was on another committee. I am writing this letter from home and from fear of making an error, I want you to check over your list and tell me if 1 am wrong. Have we named George Keogan of Notre Dame an assignment or BillBoelter of Drake? I think any of these men would be goode LI am a little confused on the Nibs Price appointment.
