betkevie have outstanding teams. When we were in Knoxville I

do not believe that we were seriously considered for the
invitation. We won the Tournament. We disbanded and the
football men reported for football. Later we were invited and

I had already started on a speaking tour. It seems to me that
the Chairman down this way ought to know two or three weeks in
advance the teams that he feels are outstanding, and he ought to
contact them so that they could make plans accordingly. Then if
they are receptive he could select the best one. Down here this
year we had a good team ,although it was wrecked with the wosst
flu epidemic that I have ever seen. But by Tournament time we
were a good team again. Tennessee also had a splendid team and
North Carolina and Duke were strong teams. Had our chairman
put out"feelers% in advance I am certain that he would have had

@ much stronger team to represent our District.
