TII.e PUBLICITY MATERIAL. Tf the NeCeAeie Tournament is going to be tho success

Ve

 

that it should be, it will be bocause sviection committees in each district
are making their selections oxpeditiously and because wo got into the public
pross good publicity from each district. As tho race narrows down in cach
district it might bo well for cach chairman to give to the press some idea
as to what teams are boing considored for the final selection. Hach select: *
committco should assume the dofinite responsibility of scoing that such matc;
jal gots into tho papers just as soon as possible. In addition, if you can
got anything which you fool may be of national intorest sond it to Dr. F. C.
Allon or to myself and wo will soe that it is used. Now is tho timo to “bor:
down" if we are to put this Tournamont across.

ECONOMY IN PROCEDURE. I should like to emphasize again the neod for econory
on the part of o11 committces. As you all know, the N.C.A.A. Tournament 1.5.
year lost moncy. Wo aro anxious to not only pay our own way this yoar but,
if possible, to erase the doficit from last season, That moans we should de
everything that oan possibly be dono by lettor rather than tclophone or tour
graph. Ploase understand, howevor, that if in the final rounding out of the
situation in any district the use of tho telephone or tolograph is indicato<.,
by all moans use it. Wo dontt want to handicap procoduro by any “ponny wisc
and pound foolish" administration.

 

Ploaso koop me informed about any developments in your district, ospecially
in Districts 1, 2, 3 and 4 Districts 5, 6, 7 and 8 should keep in vory
close touch with Dr. F. C. Allon at Kansas, since ho is tho manager of both
the Western playeoff and the final gamo and is a member of tho General Tourr'
mont Committoo.
