Dear Mr. French: ‘I feel so keenly the urgent need of the re-appointment of Mr. F. C. Allen to the WN. G. A. A. Basketball Rules — Committee that I have written the attached appeal to lir. — I feel that the loss of Mr. Allen, not only as an out~ standing on the National Rules Committee but as a member of the committee which has been appointed to conduct the N. C. A. A. Tournaments for another year, would be too great for me not to voice my sentiment in the matter. With kindest regards, I am JWS PML Chairman, N.C.A,A. | Incl. Basketball Rules Committee.
