Dear Doc:

Received your letter in regard to officials for
your non-conference games and will get busy on that right away.

There are several points I want to clear up at thi
this time. At the present time there has been no action taken
by the various commissioners for non-conference,or inter-section
games. Here is the set-up for football and I hope that in the
very near future we can make some such arrangements for basket-
ball:

a

De

Mixed crews for all single game contracts

Local crews for all home and home contracts

Appointees to be selected by the commissioners indep-
endently of coaches for inter-sectional games. If you
were playing a home and home series with Texas Universi
Texas would be perfectly willing to have me slect one
official without consulting them and you would willing
to have Jim St.Clair do the same. Of course the under-
standing that exist between Jim and me is that we will
use only top ranking officials for these games,and
that in the event there might be any official that
either coach did not want we would leave him off that
list. If you did want that privelege you would make it
known at the time the games were scheduled.

As the situation stand at the present time I think
you should go ahead with officials for all games away from
home,of course this d oes not mean conference games. In the
event you want me to take a part in these game away from home I
will be perfectly willing to do so,but feel that you should
consider that when the contract for the game is matte and have
a definite understanding with the other coach.

You did'nt state whetther your game with Denver
was to be played in Lawrence or Denver. If it is to be played
in Lawrence I will go ahead and make the assigmments,if it is
to be played in Denver why don't you go ahead with the arrangeme
ents.

For your game with Creighton at Lawrence on Feb.10
it should not be necessary to consul% Eddie Hickey unless we
