Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Doc:

I have been serving as commissioner of officials for the Kansas
Conference and on the schedules turned in to me I notice your
team is to play at Bethel College on Thursday evening, Decem-
ber 18.

Of course, the smaller colleges cannot pay the fees that the
larger schools pay and hence we are rather restricted in the
range of officials. However, we have some fine young officials
who are working the conference games and I think we have men
available who will be very satisfactory to you.

In that section of the state perhaps the leading basketball
officials are Pierce Astle, Rudolph Uhrlaub and Carl Kopelk
of McPherson; Bill Hennigh and Percy Fossey of Hutchinson;
Melvin Binford of El Dorado Junior College; LeRoy Sandberg
of Salina; and Pike Gawthrop of Wichita.

How would Astle and Uhrlaub suit you for this game?

With best wishes, I am

Very cordially yours,

E. R. STEVENS, PRESIDENT
