Dear Mr. Allen:

We are ready to lay our lines on our new gym floor
here, 80 by 50 with 4 foot basket line, and I have com
up with what I think is a potent idea, probable not orig-
inal, for the 3 second zone-ie-. Bay it in solit red as
included diagram shows. This should help player prevent
violations.

Please by return mail send your comment of approval
or disapproval of the idea.

I have sent out to various leading college coaches
and if the consensus of opinios is favorable we will finish
as the inclosed drawing shows.

Please let me hear by return mail because we plan to
paint and seal by Wed.

Truly yours

"Curley" ~chlupp
