Dr. Forrest C. Allen
C/o University of Kansas
Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Dr. Allen:

This is to advise that we shipped today, Thursday, April 13, the
three basketball backboards referred to in previous correspondence.

This shipment went forward via Wabash-Santa Fe Railroad » and de~
livery should be made about the second morning from day of shipment.

Incidentally, this memorandum order was entered to 'University of
Kansas, Forrest C. Alle, Director of Physical Education, Lawrence,
Kansas', so you Will, of course, be notified by someone at your end
as soon as this shipment is received.

Incidentally, we wrote Mr. H. H. Salmon, Jr., of New York, under
date of March 30, offering him the third set of backboards for his
May 1 meeting, but to date have heard nothing from him. We are be-
coming a little concerned over this fact. Do you think it advisable
that we again write Mr. Salmon, repeating our offer; or should we
wait a little longer for word from him?

In addition to the three backboards shipped to you today, we forwarded
some wood stringers, which you may find necessary to attach the small
2-1/2' x l' beard to your present pipe supports or other fixtures as
are now used to support the standard l' x 6' backboard. AS an emer-
gency measure you can, of course, easily attach the wood stringers to
the back of the small backboard and then attach the stringers to the
pipe supports. Of course if you can arrange to attach this small size
backboard against the balcony, without the use of the stringers, so
much the better, as I am of the opinion they might be a hindrance if
used in connection with a pull-up type backboard.

Kindest personal regards.

Yours very truly,

R.E.Weinzett el /ACc
