' Dear Mr. MeCoy:

We use show card coloring mixed with LePage's glue, about one-fourth |
glue, and the remainder is show card whiting or water color. Warn
water will immediately take it off, yet it will serve the purpose for

marking very nicely.

Yes, it would be necessary for you to remove the lines before a
mateh game. Some of the opponents might _— to it as it is not
a part of the regulation backboard.

In diagramming the kidney-shaped or lima bean backboard, we use an
eighteen=inch square box above the basket. The basket rim is 18 "
wide so we just rum lines up’from the basket measuring on the inside
of the rim 18" up, and then drawing a line across. The lima bean
beard 486 1Attlo mare AifFieult to Ginger tim the old restangular
board.

I am enclosing a sketch of the old board, and I am sure you oan
adapt this box to the lima bean backboard.

With all good wishes to you and Mrs. McCoy, I am

Very sincerely yours,
