Ames, Iowa

Dear Louis:

I believe in the best interests of our Fifth District
that we had better have the meeting in conjunction with the Missouri
Valley Conference on December 7 and 8, Saturday and Sunday.

ot be

I am sorry that you will n with us, but since.
the District requires an open meeting, I believe we had better
go ahead with ite

Would you be kind enough te write to the BigeSix
coaches and state that it is necessary to have an oper. mect=
ing for the Fifth District, which we will set for Sunday after-
noon? It might be that we of the BigeSixz could meet Sunday
morninge I would like te heve a joint conference of the Big-Six
and the Missouri Valley, if possible, as I believe that creat
benefit is obtained by having these two groups together. Iwill
be glad to have your reactions

Louis, do you not think that at our meeting we should
discuss and set aside a regular time for our coaches to meet?
I believe we should meet with the Missouri Valley Conference, and
since this date is the first Saturday in December, which is the
time for the Big~Six Faculty Representatives to meet, I believe
that we as coaches should agree to hold that date open and not
schedule any gamese I would be glad to have your reaction to
this matter.

With ell good wishes, I em,
Sincerely yours,

Tireector of Physical Education and Recreation
Varsity Basketbell Coach
