Mr. Forest C. Allen,
University of Kansas
Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Mr. Allen:

Your letter of July 8,1938 with suggestions in reference
to my all steel basketball nets and the right procedure to
have same tested, I am pleased to say I have followed them
carefully and Mr. E.J.Hickox of Springfield College has
had a set installed since the first of December and have
proved very satisfactory, and I think you will hear from
him soon to that effect.

I therefor am shipping you prepaid under separate
cover one pair of nets for you to test in your gym. We have
tried out two different styles of hooks and the ones shipped
with your nets are working perfectly, and until the plain
hoops are outlawed completely this is about the only
hook that can be used as it must pass over the top as you know
the only other method would be tape or raw hide as they are
now using in most cases.

If my nets should be aproved T will then be in a position
to have special hooks made up to fit the no-tie-in style baskets
which seems to be the most popular around here. |

T am enclosing instructions and will you please see that
the right party received them and will read them before attemting
to assemble nets.

Your letter indicates Mr. Tower altho a stranger to me
must have done a good job at the Chicago meeting which I
appreciate and take this opportunity to thank you for your
courtesy extended me and any assistance , eriticisms or
suggestions will be more than appreciated.

Very truly yours
TA fev
