cerned. For example, I know Mr. Medart will want to be present when you are
here, and for your information he will be out of town from August 3 through
August 8 and again from August 17 through August 20. I will be out of St.
Louis on August l; and 5.

In view of the above I believe it is in order to suggest that if Mrs. Allen
decides as was indicated, that you will try to get here for a meeting on Aug-
ust 10 and 11 or August 14 and 15. These dates will have to be given consid—
eration in conjunction with the taking of the moving pictures mentioned above,
and also in conjunction with the session with the "Life" representative. It

is possible that I may drive over to Lawrence to get in on this publicity, as
we deem it very important and want to lend our weight to the matter.

I note you have written Andlauer Film Company of Kansas City, under date of
July 17, and have stated that you are associated with a certain manufacturing
company and that final arrangements regarding patents, copyrights, trade=-
marks, etc., have not been made. Frankly, Dr. Allen, I am afraid this is a
little bit leaning toward the commercial angle that we had best keep between
ourselves because ordinarily some of these National organizations will shy
away from anything that smacks of the commercial. I say “ordinarily” because
I note the correspondence you have had with this Kansas City representative
of this movie concern is apparently based on friendship and I am hopeful your
friend’ Billy Andlauer will ignore this reference to a commercial tie-up so he
can, in reporting the new game in the news reel, do this without any sugges—-
tion of commercialism.

Now we come to the question of a name. We note "Goal-Hi" has been used in the
publicity that has gone forward to date and is also mentioned in the corres-
pondence you have had with Paramount and with "Life". We are of the opinion
that "Goalee" is a better name than "Goal-Hi" and believe it is not too late

to change this name to "Goalee", so suggest you do so in having correspondence
with anyone concerning the game. You might make some mention of the fact that
"Ga l-Hi" the original name, was selected for want of a better name, and that
you have since given it thought and have decided that "Goalee" was better suited
and you have adopted the namé "Goalee", and I think with a simple explanation
like that you would have no trouble in making the change-over at this time.

Please give the foregoing your consideration and let us hear from you at your
earliest convenience as this question of taking these pictures, playing a game
for the movie company, your trip to $t. Louis, the fact that Mr. Medart and I
Will be out of town at certain times, etc., becomes quite a question that should
be decided without delay in view of the fact that you, in turn, will have to be
in Atlanta along about August 20.

Kindest regards.

Cordially yours,
FRED MEDART MANUFACTURING CO.
