Dear Coach:

I have been trying to find some method by which I can teach
my boys football and basketball plays other than the use of
chalk and blackboard instruction. While in Des Moines the other
day I was talking with Buck Powers, formerly with Spalding, and
he suggested that I write to you for particulars. He is under
the impression that you have been using sone device whereby
you move images to certain positions on the football fisid or

basketball court.

If you have such a device will you please give me a brief

discription of how it works, the price of the commodity, and
where it can be purchased.
I am anxious to receive this information as. soon as
possible because my football season opens next week.
Thanking you very much for the favor,

Sincerely yours

Once Gah
