Board of Bducation
Cleveland, Ohio

Dear Floyds
Thank you for your good letter of the 6th instante

Frankly, I am very happy in not being named to the Rules
Committee because the old balogna about rotating membership would
be all right for Alice in Wonderland, but a fellow that has seen the
machination of polities as long as I have would only give ita faint
smilee if a fellow does not hold certain boot straps it is too
bad for him, well, I have never done that end I am not going to start
nows The boys got what they wanted and they can also take their
Tournament Managers

I have never been a fellow who wanted to do anything just
for the sake of kotowing, I do it either because I like a fellow
or I like the reward of a well completed jobe

So, Floyd, you will not see me sitting in on the Rules
Conmittees I will be busy doing other things and happy in the
thought that I have had the pleasure of working with you, but. I
never bother the other fellow at his worlte !

With kindest personal regards, I am,

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education and Recreation
Varsity Basketball Coach
