Pegarding the suggestion for the 75th Anniversary exhibition,
would it not be a good ides to plan on showing the old peach beskets
| thet Dre Neismith used to originate the game of basketbs11?

Perhaps it would not be necessary to have a game, but if we
would have some boys in long, white trousers, quarter length sleeves,
mustaches, etce, to toss the soccer ball around at certain times of the
day when the crowd was at its highest, it might be an interesting
recollection of the early basketball days. |

I don "t know what you heve in mind, but this is one thought
that we should perhaps cspitelize one

Ye might also use the projector and throw a very lerge
picture of Dre Naismith on the walle. Of course, enlarging = picture
of Dre Naismith would be much better, but the item of expense enters
ine I will be glad to te’k with you sometime when it is convenient,
with an idea of making some comploment to Yre Montgomery's efforts.

Sincerely yours,
