Dr. Forrest C. Allen

Dear Dr. Allen;

Just returned from Indianapolis where we installed one of the new
convex backboards for Hinkle's Coaching School, which begins today
(Butler University), and which will be allowed to remain standing
for the All-Star Game on the 18th, which is sponsored by the In-
dianapolis Star and is supposed to be an attraction that will bring
about 10,000 people together.

In any event, I want to again acknowledge your letter of August @,
with which you forwarded the remainder of the copy on the "Goal-Hi"
rules with the exception of the several variations that you intend
to work up and submit to me at your early convenience.

Your postscript relative to our purchasing a copy of the National
Basketball Playing Rules is a good one. However, the Summer sup-
plement that Porter and Power publish, is practically the same thing,
isn't it? In other words, we have several copies of that 1939-1940
rules book that just came out and I believe this covers all of the
rules, but maybe I am mistaken. Kindly advise.

I am also interested in seeing a copy of the Lawrence Journal-World
covering the story of "Goal-Hi" and the visit of “yours truly. If
you can get a copy of this (in duplicate) I will appreciate it very
much, as I want to keep all of this publicity in a file that has been
set up.

Please be sure and write me later this weeks as concerns you¥ plans
to be with us next Monday, August 14, as previously discussed. It
looks to me like we are going to have a lot of work to do on these
rules as I want to simplify them if possible.

Kindest regards.

Cordially yours,

 

R.E.Wieinzettel/Ac
