Dear Dr- Allen;

I read in the K. U. Graduate Magazine
about "goal high," the fine new basketball
game you invented.

This seems to me to fill ae very real
need and I would like verv much to learn
where the basketball standard cen be pur-
chased and, if I may be so bold, I would
like to suggest that you make one addition-
al modification on this standerd3:

To wit: why not make it adjustable
for height so that little fellows could
use it as a playground or backyard game--
or even indoors in a relatively small room.

From the picture I have in front of me
I note that the standard is supported by
four dia@gonal braces which make it rather
easy to triv over in the rush of plav.

How about setting the standard in a
flat, heavy, metal disc?

My guess is that this game will spread
rapidly if given even slight encouragement.

Sa
