Weinzettel Gentlemen: The folders which you forwarded to Mr. Riskey at Ann —- Arbor were placed on a table at the disposal of coaches om and officials who desired to take them. In addition to that I indicated that there was a chance for them to express their opinions concerning the convex backboard fa and urged that they send them in to you. I realize that ~> possibly not very many of them have done so but there a ee seemed to be a very favorable reaction to the new type ne board. I also explained it and commented concerning it at seven Regional meetings which we held in the northern part of Michigan with the result that probably three hundred additional men kmow about the new type board. Yours truly, wy C. E. Forsythe
