Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Doc, I am writing you in regard to the small col- lege All-Star football poll which takes place each fall, and I would like some help if you feel that you have time and wish to help me. My name has been placed on this poll, and I would like very much to get elected (through votes) to a place upon this team. They play in Chicago in September, and those lucky enough to get to go set $150, an "All-American" sweater, a blanket, game suit, and exnenses. These benefits would go a long way toward helping me alleviate my school obligations, besides aiding me materially in getting a job teaching and coaching. These ballots come out soon and are due in July, so if there is any- thing you feel you can do for me, I would consider it a great favor. I ask you for this help because of our friend- ship, and because I know vou can do much for me, Please advise. Sincerely, Qtut Jack Hall 211 E.

Under sepa#ate cover we are sending you a copy of our current catalogue so that you may see the type of equip= nent which we manufacture. During the past two or three years we have sent references and inquiries concerning your game Goal-Hi to the Medart Coe, Louden Co. and Recreation Equipment Co. We feel that possibly we could work up a good volume on this game at the uniform delivered retail prices which other manufacturers use since most of our distrubutors do not sell the game. Would you consider granting a license to us to manufacture this game under the same terms as other manufacturers? If you wish to check on our operations, we might suggest corresponding with the National School Supelies end Equip- ment Association in Chicago, the Second National Bank at Danville or most any—sctre tutor.
