Dear Doc:

It will take the officials some time to learn the ,
Signals and get the habit of using them. I have urged them me
to get into the habit just as quickly as possible. I agree te
with you that unless they are going to give them it is of es
little value that the Scorer know them. a

I can't answer your question about what the powers of oan.
a Commissioner are. They vary according to conferences. I do na
have ideas as to what they should be. In the Big Six conference ae
the situation at this time is not at all comparable to many Lee
other majorconferences. As you know my job is the selecting, is Pg
training and assigning of officials for football and basket- ie
ball, and any other small detail the conference may assign me
to.

The rule on the numbers players must wear is very o
clear and it is difficult to understand why jerseys would eae
be lettered with nuperals that do not meet these specifictaions. oe
I am sure that if Iwould write to Fritz Knorr or Mike they would f
gladly change to neumerals that are legal. I would be glad to S
ask them to make the correction if you care for me to do so. <
However, unless a situation has direct bearing on the officiating 2
of the game it is not in my province to interfere except to a
assist in remeding a situation that can besfbe helped by an out- “e
side party. me

Your note at the bottowm of the page stating that
your digestion is good and that you are feeling fine has me 3H
stumped. I never saw you when your digestion wasn't good and Ae

  
 
  
  

don't believe I ever saw you when gu were not feeling well. s
Talked wth Governor Schoeppel this morning and he Ae

tells me that he will make every attempt to see the Kansas- a”
Iowa State game with me on Jan. 27th. Will you have Earl save ie
a couple of seats for me for that game; believe that will be a 4
a sell out. ef
oe

Will send you a conference schedule with all officials

assigned right away. ie ae
‘Sincerely yours, ~. ee
