Dear “Phog":

I forget whether I have written to you to
acknowledge the report of the Western play-off
and the final game. In spite of the fact that
the bills have ruled in rather heavy, it is still
@ fine showing and one which you can feel very
proud. I am in hopes, however, that you can make
some progress very shortly in the matter of clean=
ing up the program account. I should like, if
possible, to get the final report from you, to»
gether with the money which you have on deposit,
so that I could have my final report ready in
case we should get the call to talk to the Execue
tive Committee sometime within the next week or
ten days.

I em in hopes we can have such a get-together
because I think it is important that we arrive
very soon at some definite program for next year's
tournament. The matter of whether we are going
to continue the Eastern and Western play-off, or
whether we are going to throw all the teams into
@ tournament is a matter which might very well be
discussed at such a meeting and, of course, it is
very important that we have an understanding wi th
the NeC.A-A. as to what the procedure is going to
be with respect to the participation of competing
teams in the net profits, ete.

I am enclosing a request from Jim St. Clair
regarding the movie of the final game. Inasmuch
as I haven't any copy of the movie in my possession,
i thought you could answer his letter.

Answering your letter of June 3, it seems to
me you are very foresighted and absolutely right
in making the arrangements which you have made with
