NEW GAME SWEEPS CITY A new game is sweeping Sioux Falls playgrounds, and it will be making its appearance at local colleges next fall, too. The game is “goal-hi,” a modified game of basketball that requires no wooden floor or- backboard. Just a few old gas pipes, some junk iron and a vacant bit of ground and you are ready to stage a game. The recrea- tion center on East Tenth street has * already installed a court and three city playgrounds are getting ready to set up two courts each. The city water department is turning. out the baskets from odds and ends. Because it promises to aid in the eke of° basketball talent, locaj coaches are enthused with the game. Augustana college is already planning four courts for the campus and intramural games are to, be staged next fall. The game here is to be played with basketball rules whenever pos- sible. The court is 50-feet in di- ameter and the center jump will be used to start play at the free throw line. The baskets are the same height as those used for bas- ketball and each basket counts two points. After each basket the ball is taken out of bounds by the team scored on. The game is played in quarters. Because there is no backboard the game is expected to develop accur- ate shooting and fast passing to earn Close shots. , a. ? e $ 3 Sate lel tlt de thin: e E* (lap i ful ude iis a jae 5343 i fs HH fa hl Bali tay qeatal iy ay de jit in lp fa as i & a ue Se q seat fad phag’ ’ ea. : iss _-8 oS al: pbb 23, ‘A iy yea £3 Heep fe ea (ey aes | +H 2 ny aBavas = is: ee Bas i ar tip 4 § m1 ie a8 | inlet “id 5 : qb ap it ie ai wei ip Ib i nn -H fH faa; ~2e \ - many ways that the least we could do is to reciprocate his many kindnessese 2 end satisfactory sales, please comand mee If at any time I an going ‘through Ste Louis, of course I will stop off and visit the Medart ly idndest regards to all. | Mrector of Physical Education and Recreation, FCA sAH Varsity Basketball Coach. § B.23.. : fra ay fdiak ai i ii | t ait ile | ait eo i nai eal il i is Ho file wild? ot iH i. jie!

MEDART PRESIDENT April 23, 190 Dr. Forrest C. Allen, Director Physical Education and Recreation University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: Answering your letter of April 19 to Roy Weinzettel, relative to the donation of a Goal-Hi to the Governor of Kansas. JI now also have your letter of April 8 in which you request that we donate a Goal-Hi to Mrs. MacCurdy 5 Roy has been away on an extensive tour of the East for the past several weeks, and I do not expect him back for another week or ten days. In the meantime, your letter regarding Mrs, MacCurdy had been forwarded to Roy and has just gotten back here. Roy's entire trip, in fact, his entire time during the past six months, has been devoted to the promotion of Goal-Hi, and, while orders are steadily increasing in volume, I am sure you have no conception of the amount of money we are investing and the order volume required to let us get up to a break-even point. Very recently we had to increase the commission allowance to our district managers to keep them happy and satisfied. In other words, so far as we are concerned, the money is all going out and virtually nothing coming in as yet. Whether this can be put over in a way to make it pay us is still a question, However, it will require further investments in advertising, general promotion and sales contact. The donation of a Goal-Hi standard to some of your friends and associ- ates may seem to you to be of no consequential expense in a scheme as big as this. You know, of course, that the cost of one advertisement is of much greater consequence, but it has always been a hard and fast rule of our Company that we do not donate our merchandise, If I wanted a Goal- Hi for my own personal use, I would pay for it at dealer prices. The same thing would apply to Roy or any other officer, director or employee of our Company. Several of my directors have made donations of Goal-Hi units to schools with which they are associated, and invariably they have had to pay for them. You can probably imagine that in our business, which is largely with charitable organizations, we are often called upon to donate merchandise, STEEL LOCKERS____STEEL WARDROBES____STEEL SHELVING____GYMNASIUM APPARATUS____GYM SEATS____BASKETBALL BACKSTOPS____PLAYGROUND APPARATUS onsen FRED MEDART MANUFACTURING CO. Dr. Forrest C, Allen April 23, 1940 Lawrence, Kansas and the rule we have laid down has been hardfast for many years. We do make sizable cash donations to different charitable organizations, but it is always in the form of cash and not merchandise. I will do whatever you want me to in the matter of these two dona- tions for which you have already obligated yourself, and I will await your advice. With best regards, I remain Edw. J.Medart:D President I have just received your letter of the 6th instant, and I am perfectly satisfied with the my Will you kindly send the Goal-i. to Governor Goaleiii for Mrse I assure you I appreciate this scourtesye I wish of course, sent frei cht collect, alsos Very sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education and Recreation, Varsity Basketball Coach. _ FRED MEDART MANUFACTURING Co. POTOMAC AND DE KALB STREETS SAINT Lours., Mo. R: E: WEINZETTFEL SALES eloacn MANAGER May 6, 1940 Dr. Forrest C, Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Phog: I returned to St. Louis from a long three and a half weeks trip to find the several pieces of correspondence between you and this office with reference to sample Goal-Hi stand- ards, one for Mrs. MacCurdy and the other for Governor Rat-— ner. I have reviewed this correspondence and believe the best way for us to handle this is for us to go ahead with the shipment to Mrs. MacCurdy as promised you when I was in Kansas City, and inasmuch as you have apparently obligated yourself to Governor Ratner, I would suggest that we i one #907 Goal-Hi,to be shipped direct to the Governor, at our regular price less the usual discount to our sales represen— tatives. in this way we can settle this matter without further Lyk / delay, and I will ask that you kindly confirm this suggestion if it meets with your approval. I am today writing Mrs. MacCurdy, asking her for a shipping ad- dress as I doubt very much whether she would want this Goal-—Hi sample to be sent to her apartment. After all, it is quite a clumsy fixture for a modern apartment. Kindest regards. Cordially yours, FRED MEDART MANUFACTURING CO.
