Dear Phog?

Replying to your letter of November 19, wish to say that I think I
wrote you about the conference I had with Saint and Ole about your
reappointment.

Unless my memory is also faulty, I elso wrote you regarding what I
had done with Chester Brewer, Brewer's reply to my letter (which
was simply a confirmation of the conversation we had in Chicago)
didn't leave me much of any leeway for reply. As 1 remember it, I
think I acknowledged it and asked Chet to do all he could, because
of your value to the committee. If 1 can think of some cther way
to help the matter along, I shall certainly do it, but it seems

to me that Saint is in the best position to help along.

Whether or not Saint will give it any attention after Saturday's
debacle which, no doubt, has put a tremendous lot of High Street
Monday morning quarterbacks on his collar, to say nothing of the

lf newspaper interests, I can't say. However, Saint is pretty
well adjusted to these things, and I think he will go forward with
taking care of the matter.

Eerly next month, I will be in Columbus, at which time I will make
it a point to take the time to run in and see Saint, and talk to
him again,

Had a talk with Harry Newman and he has what I consider to be an
almost ideal set-up to go forward with your experiment. He has a
team of tall boys (average 6 ft.) and another team of smaller boys
(around 5 ft. 8 in). They will both be coached by the same man
on the same floor, and the only difference will be the height in
baskets.
