Dear Doc:

I have your letter of June 40th. Undoubtedly Gibbs and
Curtis are the best basketball officials in the middle west.
I also believe that Van Reen is most capable. Oberhelman
is satisfactory but lacks experience. Probably he should
not be required to work unless he is assigned with one of
the better officiels.

I hesitate in attempting to choose the better officials
because of the exvense involved for their travel. I would
like to suggest using Oberhelman at Lawrence with either
Gibbs or Curtis. At Omaha, if we can secure Gibbs, I would
like to suggest Roper or Harrison to work with him. Thus,

in both games the additional expense of the distant officials
can be offset.

Van Reen would be satisfactory at either place. We have
used Quigley some in Omsha and I suggest Perke Carroll.

I do not believe I would be satisfied with Oberhelman and
Van Reen together.

Let me have your reactions to these suggestions and as soon
as we have agreed on the officials, we can have Filers

and Peters make these assignments.

With kindest personal regards, I am

bi rely yours,
