20 SATURDAY - MAY 1972
ARMED FORCES DAY - 141ST DAY - 225 DAYS TO COME
Letter from Mary Hilt. She is sending me FIG LEAF,
DECEPTION, and TAKE A CHANCE. Stancraft is not doing any
games this year except possibly some card GAMEs.
With Helen, Sy, and Mike played COMPUTER BINGO and then showed
Helen PAIR OFF. Nothing was particularly popular, but it was
hot and noisy and I couldn't concentrate either.
(cont. from 5/21) [5/22]
Tom shared a booth with Henry Adams and his "Groupe
Geometrique". Took ad sheet for TINTERSECTION, SCATTER BRAIN,
EGG TIMER, ANGLE-TANGLE, NOT QUITE. (The last 4 were previously
listed as "Lawrence Games (See 2/24 and 3/1) and were then
handled by Urban Systems.)
To Strato-Various. Spoke to Walter Dykoski and told him of
STRATO-TAC-TICS at Xerox. Told him of difficulty with fitting
tubes in place. He said that some of the tubes are too big
to fit completely into the holes. Took a new booklet of
instruction for both STRATO-TAC-TICS and STRATO CHECKERS
(with sample games for the former). Also replaced the
broken piece for STRATO CHECKERS.
To Computer Games. Showed Donald Ebert the picture of
COMPUTAMATIC FOOTBALL at Xerox. Promised to send him one.
In same booth was a company "Synestructures, Inc." with 2
construction and design sets - PUZZLE PATTERNS, SUPERSTRUCTURES -.

To Puritan Games. They have taken distribution of the "Sports
Illustrated Games" away from Schisgall. Took a catalog with

HOP SCOTCH, DOWN THE HATCH, SPIN THE BOTTLE, PUT 'N TAKE,
TIC-TAC STRIP, BOOZE IT UP, GUZZLE (all by Frank Bresee).
Also sheets for OH PEG IT and BOTTOMS UP.
To Midwest Research, Inc. James A. Barnes is the V.P. and also the inventor
of the games. He will send me U.S. AUTO CLUB RACING GAME
(which I saw in PLAYTHINGS) for review, and also his sports games
for my collection. Took a newspaper "Statis-Pro" with articles on
the games.
A young fellow David Zea was very interested in S & T and I
promised to bring him a copy.
To Strategy House. Gave Mr. Bartles my card so that he will send
me a copy of INTERNATIONAL SKI TEAM RACE. Took instructions
for the game, also an ad sheet with it and WHICH WAY TO THE LODGE?.
