Dear Doctor Allens

Congratulations on the new game "Goal-Hi". Since the articles appeared in
the Athletic Journal, Nation's Schools, Sporting Goods Journal and Youth
Today, I have received a number of inquiries from rural schools asking for
more information about the game.

Tt have written to the Fred Medart Manufacturing Company and they have supplied
considerable information and material. However, I believe an article in the
Young America Department of Farm Journal and Farmer's Wife would help a lot

in suggesting a solution to the recreational program in rural schools where
lack of money handicaps the provision of suitable equipment.

After having studied "Goal-Hi" closely I am convinced that you have found the
answer. However, there are a few questions I would like to have cleared up.
Is "Goal-Hi" a patented game, requiring the use of authorized equipment or
could schools or boys make their own goal and use a basket ball. In this
connection I personally feel that it would be too bad if boys could not play
the game simply because of the inability to raise $21-75 up to $30.00 for a
goal as quoted in the Medart circular on "Goal-Hi" equipment. Most schools
would prefer to buy the standard equipment, therefore, there would be little
lost in sales by withdrawing such a restriction if one exists.

Have any school "Goal-Hi" Leagues or Conferences been established as yet.
If so, where and how many?

I would appreciate receiving a photograph of yourself instructing some high
school boys on the fundamentals of "Goal-Hi" if you happen to have such a
picture. I would be glad to pay for it and some additional for the informa-
tion which I have asked of you.

I am enclosing an air-meail stamped envelope for your reply and hope that we may
hear from you shortly as I would like to have the article in shape for an

early summer issue.
