Dear Doc:

In your letter of January 31st. you state that there has
been so many changes in thelist of officials that I sent to you
that you no longer know whom is working. With the exception of Faye
Ferguson in the Missouri-Oklahoma game-sent to Hospital- I don't know
6f any changes made in the officials.

Sorry you had a rough game at Lawrence when you played
Kansas State; thet should never happen.

Lance and Hogue have been assigned to the Kansas-Kansas
State game at Manhattan on Feb. 16th. I believe I can assure you
that this game will not be rough; unless it should be one of those
games that come up sometime in spite of all the fouls the officials
call. .

We had a thriller with Westport last night. We won 31-30
thereby going into first place in the League without a loss. Four won
and three to play. We had a five point lad with less than two minutes
to play- that would mean seven or nine points for your team- and in
a position to make them play our way. A Westport player knocked the
ball out-of-bounds and everyone of the 6000 there knew he had knocked
it out except the one official that gave it to Westport; yes, you
guessed it they passes in and hit a A4AOfoot shot to get right back into
the ball game. It wasn't even a close decision and it came near
knocking us right out of the championship race. And to add fuel to
my already heated brow with five seconds to play a normal held ball
was called, no players on the floor or méxed-up, and without any signal
from the officials the Timer stopped the clock until the ball was
tapped. I survived the ordeal. I merely state all this to let you
know, as though you didn't already know that I too suffer on that
bench and am always cognizant of the needed wrok with officials.

If you had only called Fritz attention to those small
letters at the “ecember games he probably could have made arrangements
while here to have them changed. I hope they get fixed up on that.

Dick got in the Manual game last week, took one shot and
scored one basket. Wish you would drop him a line of encouragement.
He is improving nicely but I am sure a word from you would help him
a lot. Sorry we can't get far enough out in front to give him a real
chance to show his wares.

Will probably see you in Lincoln on Feb. 10th. Sincerely yours, —
