Dear Dr. Allen:

I heard from our storeroom manager, Mr.
Martin, of your interest in our MISSOURI TOUGHENER.
I am enclosing several sketches showing the various
dimensions of the obstacles. We are recommending for
the high schools in our state decreasing the height
of the wall to seven feet and also the height of the
hurdles being lowered to two feet six inches instead
of three feet six inches. We have received numerous
reauests from different high schools over the state
concerning this toughener and a large number of high
schools have constructed similar obstacle courses.
Mr. Stankowski had approximately 400 men who went
over the course as a part of his intramural program.
Points were scored as in other intramural sports. We
also used the toughener in our required physical edu-
cation program and all of our freshman and sophomore
men students have been over the course several times.
If there is any additional information concerning the
course, I will be very happy to furnish this information.

TO you,
Sincerety yougs,
