I appreciate the fact that this is a pretty big assignment, but if there
is any one man in the United States whose answers to the above questions ©
would be accepted as reasonably accurate, you are the fellow, I don't
know of anybody (and I don't think any one else knows of any one) who has
as wide a general knowledge of basketball over the United States as you
have. This is not the bunk just to kid you along to get the answers, I
am telling you what I actually think.

At the time of the championship game at Kansas City, I presume members
of the Rules Committee will be complimented with tickets. While I don't
want to be different, and don't want to cause any trouble, if I could
have a pair of tickets in the balcony at approximately the corner of the —
» I would be made . happye I find it bothers me to get as mich
“out of a basketball game as I should, sitting on the same level as the
players and at the center of the floor at the sidelines, If I can be
near the corner of the floor upstairs where I can look down on the
players and where 1 can see both backstops, and where it isn't necessary
for me to keep turning my head to follow the play, I get a lot more out
of the game. If you don't have anything to do with the tickets and will
let me know who does, I will bother him directly with my request.

With personal regards and looking forward to seeing you, I am
Sincerely yours
