Dear Phog:

Attached you will find a copy of a letter I have written to
Chet Brewer, For your information, let me say that the re-
sults of my conversation with him in Chicago were very
satisfactory. Chet said he was chairman of the Nominating
Committee for your district and that so far as he knew at the
time I talked to him, with the assurance on my part that I
thought you were a valuable member of the committee, he

could see no reason why he should not re-nominate you for the
position.

St. John will also have the thing in mind, and it would seem
to me that matters were adjusting themselves nicely in this
regard.

One of these days I will take a run out to Collinwood and see
what is happening to our study there, but expect that Newman,
who is also their baseball coach, has been a little busy and
has forgotten to send me the dope.

There is a problem you might want to give some time and thought
to, so far as research on the basketball bouncing tolerance is
concerned. It is a well-known fact that a new basketball's
tolerance is more than one which has been used to some extent.
I don't know what the difference would be between the tolerance
of a ball taken out of a box, and after it had been in use let
us say half an hour or so, or between the bouncing tolerance
before a game and after a game. That is one thing I think
should be determined.
