UNITED SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS g¢-~ -p FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE, INC. MEMBER AGENCY—THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS Burlington, Vt. Nov. 27th. 1941. Dr. Forrest C. Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas. Dear .Phog: Last spring,as you will remember, some of my research material on officiating was presented to the rules committee and then was placed in the hands of the research committee of the riles group for further consideration. This has been such a busy year that there has been little time to devote to further inten-. sive study of it but I am convinced that we have enough data and facts to solve many of the officiating problems that constantly arise. Not being sure that you have a copy of the outline of the material at hand, I am sending a copy to you under separate cover. I strongly propose that this method of han@ling the Mames be adopted -- at least as an alternative so that a start will be made to improve officiating by meens of much more accurate decisinns on the part of the referees. At the present time I am on leave from the University, and have offered my services to the USO and am located in the above city. It is a very beautiful spot and we like it very much. The University of Vermont is located here. The military base is Fort Ethan Allen. Let me hear from you and I will be glad to heer how your team is shaping up for this season. With kindest personal regards, I am Sincerely, WEO/E W.T.Osborne, Ph.D. THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS + THE NATIONAL CATHOLIC COMMUNITY SERVICE + THE SALVATION ARMY THE YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS + THE JEWISH WELFARE BOARD + THE NATIONAL TRAVELERS AID ASSOCIATION GS 324
