Replying to your letter of January4, wish to say that I think your suggestion is very worth=while. You will be interested to know that, while we haven't been doing anything with floor markings on poorly lighted floors, we have been experimenting with a white ball, Such experimentation would indicate that the players like the white ball and that it helps out with visibility of the game. If you want any data on it, will be glad to get it for youe With personal regards, I am Sincerely yours FAR! McG Floyd A. Rowe Copy tot Members of Research Committee
