Dear Louie:

“hank you for your good letter of the.
Zist instant concerning the program, am very happy to
have your suggestion,

I believe at the last meeting of the
Big Six coaches, Louie, you coaches selected a chairman
and secretary to carry on the Big Six interpretations,
did you not? I would like to suggest that the same
officials continue in charge of the Big Six meeting, I
was then Director of Athletics at Kansas, and the feeling
was that my time was divided between the directors and
coaches meetings, anc for that reason I believe thet you
people selected your personnel,

If you will give me the names of those
individuals I will write them and suggest the same be con-
tinued through this meeting.

Now here is my dilemaa regarding the
open meeting, I have always viewe@ltit as a meeting for
many beginners, both officials and coaches, and unless
we go over the wholes field of interpretations we are apt
to overlook some of the uninitiated, I agree with you
that it is somewhat tiresome and painful to 80 over this
stuff that we have known for 20 years or more, But I am
wondering if we are. fulfilling the mission of an interpre=
tations meeting when we fail to take in some points whieh
we consider trivial,

4s we see the type of officiating that
we do sco from week to week should not we go over some
very fundamental rules interpretations to help fellows that
spend less tims on them than wo do? I, for one, certainly
do agree thet your suggestion is well taken in that it will
stimulate me to greater endeavor in getting the tiresome
