FRED MEDART MANUFACTURING Co. POTOMAC AND DEKALB STREETS SAINT LoOuvutrs, Mo. R. E. WEINZETTEL March 16, 1940 SALES PROMOTION MANAGER AIR MATL SPECLAL DELIVERY Dr. Forrest C. Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Phog:s Mrs. Hulteen very kindly wrote me under date of March 15 in reply to my wire concerning the question of having the mod- ified backboard installed in the Kansas City Athletic Club, and I am sorry this organization does not see fit to cooper- ate with us, This looks likes a "must" assignment as the installation of one of these sample boards anywhere else would not be at all convenient to the Rules Committee, and I am wondering whether or no d call up this man Walker and explain to him that the subject of the modified board is of considerable inter- est to the Basketball Rules Committee and will be the sub- ject of much discussion, and that it is imperative that a sample be made available to the members of the Committee for their inspection and consideration. Naturally we would be d to absorb the cost of a telephone call from Lawrence to sas City for that purpose. I hope you can successfully overcome the objections raised in Walker's letter. As far as the question of our installation crew being in the way is concerned, we could very easily han- dle that to the convenience of Mr. Walker. Please wire me when you have something definite on this Phog, as I want to make the necessary arrangements without delay. Kindest regards.
