TO MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL BASKETBALL COMMITTEE:

At the last rules committee meeting, Saint expressed
himself as wishing to be relieved of the responsibility of
the chairmanship of the Basketball Rules Committee, We
prevailed upon him to accept, and rewelected him, as you
know.

Some time ago in private conversation, Saint rather
intimated it was his honest desire to get out. However,
sometimes people say those things without really meaning
them, and I wanted to check up on it. Under date of
January 18, I wrote Harold Olsen, Basketball Coach at
Ohio State, and asked him to find out what Saint really
wanted to do. I have a letter before me, written
January 22, from "Olie" in which he says, in part, as
follows,

"Saint really wants to be released of his basketball
committee work, He has had ‘enuf! and wants to 'take it
&@ little easier,"

At another place in my letter to "Oliet, I said that in
case Saint really wanted to get out, I thought that I

was only expressing the desire of the committee in saying
that we would like to present him with a token which he
would like to have, and which would be of service to him
the remainder of his life, I indicated to Olie that we
wouldn't be interested in going out and raising a large
sum of money, but that we would want to do something that
would please Saint, I am again quoting from Olie!'s letter,

“As to a memento of some kind to give Saint --- for a good
many years he has had a wrist watch (an old 'Ohio Relays!
trophy) = but that has about outlived its usefulness. I'm
sure that a nice wrist watch, properly engraved, etc.,
would be a very welcome gift." — |
