He asked me about your choice of officials and in addition to those I knew I felt you liked the work of Moe Pressly. Has he written to youabout the officials? Personally, I belive a good procedure to follow when Missouri Valley Schools are playing Big Six Games where the game is on a Big Six court the Commissioner of the Big Six should make the assignments, after consulting the Commissioner of the Missouri Valley Conference as to the preferred list of the Missouri Valley Conference School. This same procedure. should be reversed when the game is at a Missouri Valley Conference school. Fon'f forget the 17 true and false statements you are to pre- pare for me.
