Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Phog; Received your telegram, and I want to thank you very much indeed for accepting our invitation. We are looking forward to seeing you. The thing we have in mind particularly is getting across information to the officials as to how to make the game more educational so far as the players are concerned; how to handle the ball game with as little interference as possible, In other words, what we would like to have the officials learn to do is to do a professional job, but keep from interfering with the ball game as much as possible, You may not know it, but we have been experimenting here with ball games being played without officials at all. It is interesting to note that we get fewer fouls and, in many ways, a more interesting ball game than we do with officials, What I am trying to say is this - that officials many times get the mistaken idea that people come to basketball contests to see them strut their stuff and toot their whistles. So far as I am concerned, the kind of an official I would want is one who sees fouls and violations, who calls them in a pleasant but firm way, but who has the respect of the players and who does all of this not as a part of the show, but as an official act made necessary by the necessity of rules enforcement only. I will write you later in regard to actual places - that is, whether you will appear in McDonald first or here, but regardless of that, you may count on coming here and having accommodations at the Cleveland Athletic Club, as in times past. If you can get here in time for a handball game, I will try to get Big Bill, so we can have some fun before the work.

Attached you will find a copy of a letter I have from Olie, and my reply to it, If you should write him about this, I would appreciate your seconding my invi- tation to have him be up Monday and be with us Monday night. The fellows up here don't see much of Olie, and I think it would be a fine thing for them to get to know him, Our meeting, particularly the one here in Cleveland, we would like to have you stress the work of the officiel, indicating how he may best secure the co=- cperation of the players, coaches and spectators, Anything you want to say along this or any other line that deals with the improvement of the game of basketball, will be of interest to all of us. Just another word. We have at Collinwood High School one of our better basket- ball coaches. Out there they have two sets of baskets that are adjustable in height so that we can raise them 10, 11 or 12 ft. I wonder if you would want to spend some time with Harry Newman out there, outlining some experimental work you would like to have him do with intramural basketball on height of baskets. If you think you will have the time, I will arrange to have you meet with Harry and talk to him about it either Monday afternoon or Tuesday, depending upon which time Olie is going to be with us. When you arrive on Monday, I wish you would come directly to the Athletic Club and be my guest at a luncheon meeting of the University of Michigan Club. I will be looking for you there on the seventh floor, and Big Bill no doubt will be present also.
