My distinguished Dr. Allen:

Through information which I have received from the
Fred Medart “anufacturing Co. we have learned of your
new and original game "GOAL-HI",

We who are struggling to make effective the organ-
ization of the First Panamerican Congress of Physical Ed-
ucation are greatly interested in learning ideas and
details concerning this matter from distinguished pro-
fessional men and therefore I am going to permit myself
to apply to you.who are well known for your kindness,
friendliness and expert authority to submit to us an
article in which are expressed the importance and value
the organization of a Panamerican Congress of Physical
Education would have; how this program could be advanced;
and the benifits that would be obtained for all these
countries. This article which you send us will be pub-
lished in the newspapers of Uruguay, Argentina, and Brazil.
Copies will also be sent to other countries. We are con-
vineed of the need of the cooperation of a person of your.
prestige to help establish the interest and atmosphere
necessary to carry on this great movement in physical
education.

Availing myself of this opportunity I am going to
permit myself to ask you for details, pictures, and
rules of your new game, "GOAL-HI"- and also if you have
material about basketball I shall’ be delighted to have
ee

I have the pleasure of sending to you a copy of the
minutes of the meeting in Buenos Aires, the seat of this
movement and I beg you if you publish it with comments.
in your papers to send me clippings for our records.

Thanking you for the attention you pay to our re-
quests I again express my kindest regards.

Raul V. Blanco
