Dear Dre Allen:

In answer to the three questions in your letter of
September 17, it might be possible to put the basket on the
bottom of the backstop, and make it six feet by three feet as
eliminating the skirt below the basket would simply assist in
more playable balls that were short, since the backstop will be
four feet inside. Sorry that I have no dimension or construction
changes to suggest.

Would you be interested in an exchange of games in
December, the second week or as late in the third week as the
L3th?
Very sincerely yours,

Pi cial

Frank P. Root
