FRED MEDART MANUFACTURING Co. POTOMAC AND DE KALB STREETS SAINT Louris, Mo. R. E. WEINZETTEL SALES PROMOTION MANAGER February 12, 1941 Dr. Forrest C. Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear "Phog": John Hatton, of Kansas City, wrote me a day or two ago, inviting us to exhibit during the National Basketball Coaches Association Convention in New York on March 24 and 25, We are a little bit in the dark concerning this convention, and I wonder if you can give me any information. I'd like to know how many coaches regularly attend this National Meeting and, in- cidentally, will you be among those present? I, of course, remember the meeting that was held in Kansas City last year, at the time of the Basketball Rules Committee Meeting. The thought was advanced by Hatton that we might display our fan shaped basketball backboard and the Goal-Hi unit to good advantage. Anything you can tell me, "Phog", will be very much appreciated. Cordiall ur's REW: je P.S. I note from the local papers that Kansas is going right along its merry way in the Big Six basketball race. I am still hoping to accept that invitation to sit on the sidelines with this out- standing team, and its coach, if I can ever catch up with them.
