Today I talked with A. A. Schabinger, 211 South State St., Chicago. He is
greatly interested in the modified boards and demonstrated with one set of them
before a group of coaches a week or two ago. He covers the central states for
a group of the sporting goods manufacturers and before the opening of next bas-
ketball season he will attend many clinics and will have charge of a consider-
able number of demonstrations of playing technique. He is enough interested in
the modified boards so that if you should choose to work with him, he would be
willing to carry one of these smaller boards with him and put on demonstrations
at the various clinics. I believe it would be worthwhile for you to give care-
ful consideration to his offer to do this. If you should be willing to provide
him with such a board, it would probably be best to make it in the form of the
one proposed on the enclosed sheet as soon as the sanction of the committee has
been secured.

I shall ve glad to keep you posted as soon as I have returns from the members of

the committee relative to the proposed size and form. I am convinced that a real

service can be performed by promoting experimental work of this kind and I am
very glad to cooperate with you in anything which may enable the basketball men
of the country to inspect boards of this type.

Yours truly,

Signed - H. V. Porter
