C. Allen Basketball Coach University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Doc: I have your letter of December 10th and have changed the wording relative to Bask-O-Lite goals to read that we have endorsed the use of Bask-O-Lite goals in the Big Six, with a notation that the home team would install regular goals if the visiting team prefers then. We have gone ahead and ordered a set of Bask-O-Lite goals here at Ames. Just heard from Frank Root in which he is not in ‘ favor of Bask-O-Lite goals. He states: "I do not care for them and will not install them unless the group voted to do so through- out the Conference." Do you think it would be well, inasmuch as all the others have now secured this type of goal that he be urged to also install them? Will you write him and let me know his decision. I will also write him.
