Dear "Phos":

Upon receipt of your letter I mailed you
special delivery five hundred letterheads and
five hundred envelopes of the National Associ-
ation of Basketball Coaches. I do not exactly
like the setting of the stationery but hope it
will meet with your approval for the first time.

No official action was ever taken about
making Dr- Naismith "Honorary President", but
I thought we should do so, and I hope that this
also will meet with your approval.

I hope at your earliest convenience you
will write to our eastern representatives--
Ortner of Cornell, McLaughry at Brown, Novak of
the Army and Tebell of North Carolina State and
E. J. McNichol of University of Pennsylvania.

I think it will be a wise move to get these men
supporting this meeting at Chicago during the
Interscholastic Basketball Tournament. While in
the East, I had a long talk with McLaughry of
Brown. He was very enthusiastic about our
Association. However, he tells me that Coach

Hd Wachter of Harvard thinks they should have

an eastern association of basketball coaches

wal ch. ne (McLaughry) is discouraging in view of

the National Association. If you can get
McLaughry or Ortner to suggest to Wachter that
he join this association it would kill that j
idea entirely, and this would truly be national
in scope. Since Mathews has resigned at St.
Louis, it might be a good plan to suggest to
Wachter that he act in his eapacity for this
year. .

I have talked this association to all of
the basketball. coaches I saw in the Bast and
those I come in contact with through the middle-
west and west. All are enthusiastic and express.
the intention of attending the meeting at
Chicago.
