Dear iir. Pattersons

may Thank you for your kind letter of the
Zend instante

We think the bleck and white maricings
on the basketball court make a womlerful improvencnt,
especially for a floor thet is dark. The broken lines
enphasize the court mridngs, thus aiding spectators,
officials and players to a great degrees

The court may be marked at a very
minimal cost, and wo believe in its benefits very
strongly. The black line is broken every six inches.
with a two inch white square on the center
the free throw lines and the boumdary lines. This white
line is painted on with white show card color nixed with
LePage's glue, and woars very well for the entire seasons
It my be washed off with wam wter.

Coach As Je MeDoreld, of Southwest iiissouri
Teachers College, Springfield, Missouri, is putting the
‘black and white broken line on their new basketball floor.
We used it here all last year and imtend to use it againe
Persomilly, I think it is a great improvencnt. |

With best wishes to you for a successful,
season, I am

Very sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education and Recreation,
Varsity Basketball Coache |
