Finished the model for <u>WILD WOOD PILE</u>.
<u>Jerry D'Arcey</u> called. Met him at 205th St. subway and here  <br>
for supper. He doesn't have any games to show this year -  <br>
he is manufacturing non-shatterable "Mad Clatters", a  <br>
toy with two balls on a string.  <br>
Jerry told me that he heard that Hallmark was going into  <br>
games and I told him that was X and I have 9  <br>
things with them.  <br>
<u>Frank Thibault</u> has placed an action type <u>GAME</u> with Lakeside.  <br>
It consists of a large flat wheel mounted vertically  <br>
with a hollow between two <s>player</s> plates. Each player has a  <br>
separate opening at the top thru which marbles are entered.  <br>
Deflectors can cause them to move out to the edge or to stay  <br>
towards the center. Object is to try and keep them towards  <br>
center (tho it is maily luck) so that the wheel tilts towards  <br>
the opponent's side, spilling his marbles. (Fairly complete  <br>
idea, I think.)  <br>
I asked <u>Jerry</u> to remind <u>Frank</u> to send me <u>CONTIGO</u>.
<u>Jerry</u> is not submitting anything to Hallmark because they take  <br>
too long. He took <u>COMMODITY</u> away from Samsonite because  <br>
they wanted to hold it till next year. He'll talk to his  <br>
accountant & so will I.  <br>
Showed <u>WILD WOOD PILE</u> to Jerry. He didn't spend much time on  <br>
it but liked it. Suggested less pieces, so that they can be  <br>
thicker.
