mention also that I recommend 8 foot gonls for grammar school
children, @ foot goals for junior high school children, 10 foot

goals for high school players, and 12 foot goala for college
teams o

I wrote a short sketch on the 12 foot basket for college and
independent teams. I am enclosing one herewith. 5

gied to hear from YOUe
