Dear "Phog":

Replying to your letter of June 20, sorry we
were not in Omaha so that we could have had a visit and
have gone over these various committees.

Regarding the Membership Committee for the lst
District, I suggest you appoint McLaughry of Brown Uni-
versity rather than Cowell of New Hampshire. I had a
long talk with Cowell at Chicago, and he said he would
do all he could to boost this organization but that he
was serving on a number of such committees and would
appreciate it if he was not put on any active committee.
I have a letter here from McLaughry in which he is very
enthusiastic about the organization, and therefore I
suggest his appointment. Regarding the 8th District,
I leave it entirely to you between Armstrong and Romney.
I do not know Romney; I know his brother very well. I
know Armstrong, and I am sure he would be an excellent
man. However, you decide on that. Hither one is all
right with me.

Regarding the Program Committee, I suggest that
you leave E. J. Marti of Reno on that committee. It will
encourage him to be there which will give us a nice re-
presentation from that district. Norgren and White will
certainly attend the meetings. Press Committee, O-K.
Coaching Ethics, 0.K.--By the way, is K. Schlademan
coaching basketball at Washington State? I have no
suggestions to make on any of the others. I think you

-have certainly done a fine piece of work in your appoint-

ments.

I have written to the four members of the Board
of Trustees--just now completed that work at your suggestion.
I will let you know as soon as I hear from then.

I have a letter from General Pierce asking me
for a copy of the constitution. He also suggested that
it would be a fine thing to get our various committees
organized and get the acceptance of the men who are to
work on those committees. The approval of the N. C. A. A.
