C. “Phog™ Allen, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansase Dear "Phog": I thought that you would be interested in the attached circular which we have just prepared to send out in the May issue of our publication "The Coach". There will be about fifty thousand copies going out covering the entire United States, and even though we will not benefit one hundred per cent by doing this, it will no doubt increase our business on the Goal-Hi and help other dealers throughout the country to obtain business. Personally, I think the circular is very attractive. We surely hope it will bring in the desired results. You may have heard about the Goal-Hi Tournament we plan to promote next week at the Police Sport Show to be held at the American Royal Building here in Kansas City. Don't know just how many teams we have lined up, but apparently sufficient to go ahead and hold this tournament, which will no doubt be the first Goal-Hi Tournament ever held anywhere. Very truly, He. Royer Merchandise Manag KER /rw Encle LOWE & CAMPBELL HEADQUARTERS FOR OFFICIAL G@AL-HI EQUIPMENT School Officials Everywhere Endorse Originated By An Educator Dr. Forrest C. ‘‘Phog’’ Allen Director of Physical Education and Varsity Basketball Coach, University of Kansas Goal-Hi was conceived and developed by the nation’s leading Basketball Coach and Physical Education authority as a_ healthful! mass play-game for boys and girls, men and women of all ages! America’s New, Mass Play-Game Goal-Hi is the answer to every physical education or play program. Played on a circular court with one Goal-Hi standard the focal point of activity for all players. Goal-Hi eliminates the constant shut- tling back and forth from one end of a court to the other as in regular basketball, and consequently, is less strenuous and exhausting. Goal-Hi provides the individual player with the correct degree of healthful stretching, leaping and running exercise. A Year ’Round Game for Students of All Ages ... Large or Small Teams Goal-Hi is not a formal sport limited to a short season but is played indoors and _ out-of-doors throughout the year. Entire gym classes or play groups can play Goal-Hi. Interest and speculation for the individual player is always present as a result of the basket construction which provides three exits for the return of the ball to the playing field after a basket is made. It is impossible to determine in advance where the ball will emerge from the basket. It Costs Little To Play Goal-Hi Only one Official Goal-Hi Standard (and a basket- ball) is required to play Goal-Hi. Prices quoted represent your net cost. Freight is prepaid to your nearest freight station. SS No. GH600 Goal-Hi Floor Protectors. The underside of the circu- lar base of the official Goal-Hi standard is drilled to permit at- tachment of six special rubber buttons that eliminate any possibil- ity of highly finished gym floors becoming marred or scuffed. Buttons are easily snapped into place. No. G-H 600 (Set of six) NET Delivered For Indoor and Out-of-Door Use Most popular Goal-Hi standard because it can be rolled by means of its circular base from one location to another—indoor or out-of-doors, at will.

Dear "Phog" Thank you for your letter of yesterday, and will say that one of our men is conducting the Goal-Hi Tournament at the Police Sports Show, so in talking to him he tells me that the entries close today. He is not sure just how many entries he will have, but says that he knows he is sure of seven, and there will probably be more. He is going to put you in, thereby saving a oe for a Taner in case you do’organize one to COME « Now in the event that you give it up, just drop me a note and I will pass the information along to Shikles, and naturally he would like to have this information not later than Monday. Another thing Mr. Shikles asked me to request of you, and that is if you could be here to present the trophy to the winners of the Goal-Hi Tournament the final evening. I don't think that he knows right now just what evening this will be - that is, whether Saturday evening or Sunday evening. He would like very much to have: you do this. What do you say?
