Mr. Forrest C. Allen

Director of Physical Education
University of Kansas

Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Mr. Allen:

I am sure that you will not remember
me, but I happened to be associated with you
in the Huntsville State Teachers College
Coaching School. I was in charge of the
responsibility of seeing that those who wanted
credit in the course attended the classes. At
that time I was on the faculty of Southwestern
University at Georgetown. I am now Athletic
Director for the University Interscholastic
League, and have had that position since the
passing of Mr. Roy B. Henderson. You will
remember Mr. Henderson was also in attendance at the
Coaching School that summer.

We are interested in this new game that
you have devised, called Goal-Hi. The League
is always interested in introducing new activities
that would meet the needs of the boys and girls
in the smaller schools. As you know, we have
about 5000 schools participating in the League.
There are 1500 now engaged in our statewide
basketball play-off. We had 754 football teams
participating this past fall. If we take on this
Goal-Hi in Texas it will put this new game on
the map.

Any information that you can furnish me
in regard to this new contest I should appreciate
it.

I am yours truly

N), [ete
