Dear lir. Weinzettel:

 
  
  

re" Gould be attacted to the pipe supports
emt of the dringers. This wld make a

   
   

better loo) in cb but, of course, would make the board too near the
free tt An: I de not believe this is a detriment as fhr as demon-
stratic rr If any group desired to actually play with the
board it sy matter for them to mark a temporary free
throw 1 r distance from the backboard.

I note your % t to the effect — if a smallerboard were used,
it micht neenenitehe rearranging the pre supports. On the other

hand, it is not probable that if the new type board were to be made

from 54 to 60 inches in width that there would be any great difficulty
in making the change because that would necessitate bringing the
supports in only six to eight imches on either side and in most cases
the supports are not at the extreme edges of the board. All of these
things willhave to be taken inte emsideration as experimental work

Yours truly,

Secretary
