Dear Dr. Allen:

I, too, am sorry that I could not be at the meeting in Kansas
City, and I want you to thoroughly understand that I do not feel that
in my absence you tried to run a whizzer over me, and I simply answered
Louie Menze's letter asking about goals: “At the recent meeting in Kansas
City the Big Six coaches voted to endorse the use of Bask-0-Lite goals.
~ personally was not in favor of it but since all the other coaches there
wanted these goals we have gone ahead and secured a pair. We made the
stipulation at the meeting that if any coach did not care to use Bask-0-
Lite goals the home team would use the regular goals. Will you kindly let
me know what your pleasure is concerning this matter?"

My answer to this was: "I am like you, I am not in favor par-
ticularly, nor am 1 opposed to the Bask-0-Lite goals. I will play with
whatever you equip your gymnasiun, got to no extga trouble or expense for
me. Iwill ask you to use our regular goals when playing here unless you
object terribly."

From paragraph H of the general suggestions at that interpretation
meeting of the Big Six coaches the regular goal proposition seems to be at
the pleasure of the visiting team only, but I took it to mean that no school
was obligated to purchase and install Bask-O-Lite goals and that the regular
goals would be official and satisfactory to eny visiting team. Let me state
to you, and for all other coaches that ! will play them on their home court
with whatever they are regularly equipped.

 

I am leaving for Colorado in the morning, and Mike will not be
back until about the 6th or 7th. I should be back on the end at which time
I am in hopes there will be a letter in the mail waiting for me from you
relative to my interpretation of home court equipment. In the case of the
Nebraska geme, it was won by one point as I remember it by A virtue of an
awarded goal, and as you suggest this happens quite infrequently. As for
the score keeper that is in doubt and the rapid play that is possible fol-
lowing a field goal. I can see where men jumping around the basket could
trip this signal, the ball being intercepted close to the basket and im-
mediately started down the floor would cause just as great an error.
