Biien, Director of Athletics University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear "Phog": Have heard from all of the appointees on committees excépt Murray of Marquette and McNichol of Pennsylvania. 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. Cordially yours, Aas Director of Athletics AAS : GP
