Dear Phog:

TI am very much interested in the contents of
your letter of January 17.

he question of uniformity of officiating ought
+o have an important place on the agenda of our annual
meeting. Whether a discussion of the probiém would produce
any concrete solution may be open to doubt, but that doubt
does not justify ignoring the issue, It is possible that
a plan could be devised , or at least suggestions made,
looking toward and bringing about real improvement in our
officiating throughout the country.

It is my opinion that there has been a definite
advance in the last few years in the matter of uniformity
of interpretation and administration of the rules, This
has come about through increased intersectional games,
through more detailed and more widespread printed inter—
pretations, and through the individual efforts of members
of our committee, I am hopeful that the championship games
among the colleges planned for the first time this year
will be productive of good results, although I am not in
toush with the plans for those events and do not know how
they are progressing.

I am thinking of taking & trip across the country
this summer and have given some thought to stopping off at
a few of the summer coaching schools if any of them would
be interested in having me take part in a discussion of the
rules and their interpretation. It is possible, however,
thet by the time I have been able to make a decision about
the trip it will be too late to make arrangements with any
of the schools. Do you think anything could be accomplished
in this way?

Sincerely yours,

CBeurold Yoo
