_ FRED MEDART MANUFACTURING Co. POTOMAC AND DE KALB STREETS SAINT LouISs, Mo. R. E. WEINZETTEL March 4, 1940 SALES PROMOTION MANAGER Dr. Forrest C, Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Phog: Congratulations on the outcome of the Kansas-Missouri game last week. I see you are on top —- and here's hop- ing you stay there the rest of the season. Incidentally, I have had word from Chicago regarding the Basketball Rules Committee meeting and I note that headquarters for your organization will be the Contin- ental Hotel. I would like to have a convex backboard of the modified size and design installed in plenty of time for the meeting, and am wondering whether you, as Chairman of the Research Committee, can make the necessary arrange- ments with the officials at the Continental Hotel. Na- turally we would arrange to handle the actual installa- tion but would like to receive permission from someone in authority and connected with the Rules Committee. Will you please advise whether you can handle this for us at your early convenience so that I, in turn, can make the necessary arrangements and have the board on hand and installed prior to the 28th? Kindest regards. Cordially yours, REW/AC STEEL LOCKERS____ STEEL WARDROBES____STEEL SHELVING____GYMNASIUM APPARATUS____GYM SEATS____BASKETBALL BACKSTOPS____PLAYGROUND APPARATUS
