Chelsea Aves — Kansas City, Moe Dear Reaves, — I am wondering if you would be good enough to send me a list of Big Six basketball officials and their addresses? I am expecially anxious to receive the address of &b Curtis. Thanking you I am Sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education and Recreation — FCA/ pe | Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach ee | Wovember 12, 1941 Mr. Carl Sears Adams Hotel Tulsa, Oklahoma Dear Mr. Sears, Our selections for officials are made through Mr. Reaves Peters, 324 Chelsea, Kansas City, Mo., our Big Six Commissioner of Officials. I will be very happy to use you if an oppor~ tunity presents itself. I understand that Comuissioner Jd. W. St. Clair, Commissioner Artie Eilers, and Commissioner Reaves Peters are working together now in such a feshion that wherever a game is played these offfidisioners decide the officials. So I would suggest that you work through them and I will be glad to recommend yous Sincerely, SS Director of Physical Education and Recreation FCA/pg Varsity Baskotball and Baseball Coach 20,0: ROOMS EACH WITH BATH F. E. WASSON or CHEYENNE AT 4TH Sulsa, Oklahoma Nov. II, I941 Coach Forest C. Allen Kansas University, Lawrence, Kansas. Dear Coach Allen: I should sincerely welcome an opportunity to work some basketball games on your schedule; if not this year, maybe next. The Big Six has honored me with assignments before, at Norman, but Oklahoma fans and sports writers did not turn nip ups over my work. However, I wouldn't blink an eye to please them and Bruce wouldn't want me to. That should not preclude my working in other field houses in the Conference. I respectfully urge you to discuss my qualifications with Bruce Drake and George Edwards for whom I worked two successive seasons. Altho' I have no idea what these two gentlemen think of my work I have complete confidence that they will "lay it on the line" just as it is and that's all I can ask for. Possibly you could find a place for me on your pre-season schedule. Enclosed is a copy of my schedule as of this date. I shall look forward to seeing you at the Kansas City meeting. With kindest regards, I am Sincerely, Carl Sears Adams Hotel. Air Canditioned TRooms and Cofee Shop “An Nddress of Distinction Basketball Schedule as of Nov, II, I94I - Carl Sears.

Allen, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas. Dear Dr. Allens: The Northern Division of the Pacific Coast Conference has asked me to make a study of the fees paid to basketball officials for regular con- ference games. We wish to determine if our fees are in line with those of other conferences in the nation. Would it be possible for you to outline for us your conference schedule of fees, and give us a break-down on how you arrive at the gross amount if a flat fee is not paid? For your information, and as a guide to our request, our fees are de- termined upon the following basis: Geme fee $2000 First class train or bus fare Per day expenses BH e00 Per day time lost = school group 10.00 = not included ) =o " = non-school group 7.00 (six day basis) ("time lost" is to compensate those men who must be away from regular jobs and are necessarily docked. They are paid regard- less of whether they are actually docked. ) I wish to submit this report to our next meeting in June, and will con- sider it a special favor if you can provide me with this information, or place this communication in the hands of anyone who might do it for youe Please allow me to thank you in advance for this favor.

He is a graduate of Washington State College and was fast becoming one of their better officials in the Northern divison of the Pacific Coast Conference. Coach Jack Friel of Washington State recommended him very highly. I re- ceived a letter recently from Coach #dmonson of the Uni- versity of Washington voicing his high prise of Mr. McPhee as an official. Coaches Drake, Gardner and Lewandowski met him at the NCAA finals and already havehim in some of their non-conference games. If you would care to have him work in some of your non- conference games won't you please so advise me. Very truly yours ed (ta R. E.
