Dr. Forrest C. Allen Basketball Coach
University of Kansas’
Lawrence, Kans.

Dear Dr. Allen:

I want to acknowledge your letter of January 18th in
regard to the use of the Bask-0-Lite goal in the Big
Six Conference.

I am enclosing a copy of the letter just mailed to Louie
Menze at Iowa State which will explain a little more in
detail our attitude in regard to this goal.

Inasmuch as the conference agreement in Kansas City was
to the effect that any coach who did not prefer the goal
would have the privilege of asking for the old basket for
their games, I am notifying you now that Nebraska prefers
the old style goal.

We are not in the mood to consider changing and inasmuch
as George Edwards and Frank Root are not using the goal

and since Oklahoma is evidently not sold on the idea, I

see no reason for our conference to attempt to put this

over.

My opinion i§ further influenced bythe fact that the
non-conference teams are definite]lW against the use of
these goals. — |

   
 

ours very truly
