Dear "Phog":

In order that we may have a good complete
picture of the N.C.AsA. Basketball Tournament this
year, we should have write-ups on both the Eastern
end Western play-offs, as well as the final Game.

I have asked Tony Hinkle to write up the Eastern
play-off for the Guide in somewhat the same manner
as Swarts did last year. With respect to the Western
play-off and the final game, I wonder if you would
went to write these up, or if you wouldn't care to
write them up, inasmuch as your team was in the
play-off end the final game, if you would prevail
on someone, let's say, McBride to do soe I, some
respects,if McBride, for exemple, were to write

up the Western play-off and the final game he could
say some complimentary things about your team with
better grace then you could yourself. At any rate,
time is rather short and I wonder if you wouldn't
do something about these two write-ups right awaye
I em sure you will agree we want to have a good
full description of the NeCeAeA. Tournament in
this year's Guide, because I believe Tower plans

to give it the first position.

Can I rely on you to provide these two
write-ups and can I expect to receive them within

a week? Please wire me.
I am glad to report that Saint continues
to improve.
Kindest regardse
Very a yours,
or “«
