Dear Dr.:t=

Mr. Harold Keith will furnish you with
the information you asked for regarding the Basket-
ball picture, record etc. You will no doubt receive
it in the next couple of days.

I enjoyed the meeting at Lincoln and think
that the set-up you read concerning a National Championship
each year is a splendid idea. This would as you say "cheapen"
the possibilities of the promoters to cash in on college
basketball by stageing a so-called national champ similar to
the Garden games last year. The sooner we can shake loose of
the doings of the A. A. U. and place the cash where it belongs
the more independant cobleges can play. I only hope that we
can realize this hope the coming year and see no reason why
it can’t be workediout this year.

Would appreciate any development on the subject
that you see fit to send at this time. Hoping you have a
pleasant summer, I am

Sincerely,

Stn took

Varsity Basketball Coach
