Dear tr. Foster:

I heve just returned from a basketball trip and em on
ny way to Kansas City to keep a spesking engagement. Prior to my
lesving, I called my office and my secretory informed me that the
following wire had deen received from you: 3

"indications point to necessity date pacific
coast conference basketball northern and
southern @ivision playoff be held March 21-24
Inc. Plesse wire collect dates and places
national collegiate west coast end netionel
pleyoff.”

fhe dates for the Tostern N.CAsAe playoffs have been
set for March 21 end 22; the National N.C.A.A. playoffs will be held -
on Merch 29. The Tournament wil? be played in the Municipal Auditorium,
Kenszs City, Missouri«

However, I am referring your wire to Mr. George Fdéwerds »
University of Missour!, Columbie, Wissouri. Mr. Bdwards has been
named as Fifth District Representative of the Netionsl Colleziate
Athletic Association.

After I had served in this cepacity for thirteen years,
it was felt by some members that it would be a good idea to rotate -
the district representation on the board. The Nomineting Committee
selected George Edwards as Representative of this district and he
automatically becomes the Maneger of the Western and the Netional
N.CeAsAs Tournament. |
