ALLEN Universidad de Kansas Lawrence Mi estimado Doctor: Allen: Adjunto le envfo algunos recortes periodfsticos que espero le servirdn para complementar la idea que sobre el desa-- rrollo e importancia del basquetbol he querido darle en una corres-- pondencia anterior, que espero habrd recibido por vfa aérea.- En esta capital es uno de los deportes més popu- lares y se practican dos deportes similares aunque con mucho menor in- tensidad, a saber: el"pelotarco"y “pelota al cesto".- El “pelotarco" fué creado por un deportista uruguayo y en €1 los canastos son susti- tufdos por agujeros hechos directamente en el tablero;uno en el cen- tro y otros dos en alas de més o menos 45 grados; ademds en las cuatro esquinas de la cancha hay tablas-con perforaciones a la misma altura del piso donde también los jugadores pueden marcar puntos. El juego de "pelota al cesto" que se practica més en la Argentina es de cierta similitud con el “GOAL-HI" segiin podré apreciarlo en el grabado que incluyo también entre los recortes adjuntos.- Espero que més o menos dentro de un mes desde es- ta fecha podré tener en ésta instalado el primer equipo de"GOAL-HI" encargado a la casa FRED MEDART Mfg.Co., pues hubo una pequefia difi- cultad en el pago de flete. En esa época se realizan aquf vastas acti- vidades deportivas al aire libre y sera la mejor oportunidad para dar- le el primer impulso, en el que pondré todos mis esfuerzos.- Calle Juan M.Blanes, 869 Apto. i.

POTOMAC AND DE KALB STREETS ~Satint Loutrs, Mo. R. E. WEINZETTEL SALES PROMOTION MANAGER March 14, 1941 Dr. Forrest C. Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear *Phog"; We have your several letters from Gene Tunney with reference to Goal- Hi at the Navy Air Training Bases and I have written Lt. Com. Edward Mahan, Athletic Director at the Jacksonville Naval Air Station, per attached two copies. I suggest you keep one of these copies for your records and that you enclose the second copy in a letter that I sug- gest you write Gene Tunney. Incidentally, for your records, I am attaching a copy of Tumney's letter to you of March 7, retaining the original that you sent to me for our files. I think you should have this copy, because I believe Tunney's letter is just what we want to open the door for us down there to get some high powered publicity in support of Goal-Hi. You will note that Tunneyconcludes his second paragraph by saying, "and in addition, the valuable advertising that _ with their being erected at this Station.” I don't want to appear presumptious by telling you what to write Gene Tunney because I am sure that you can do this better than I, but so that you can gain a full appreciation of my thought in the matter, I am going to draft a suggested letter for you to write Tunney and ask that you please write a similar letter to him, and we will see what we can do toward bringing the question of publicity to a head with the desired results for all of us.
