To "Gamut of Games." The galley of INFINITY wasn't there on
time. Phil took me out to lunch. Then we discussed
COLLECTOR'S CHOICE with Djoli. Phil will be going to visit him in
Hawaii in June (I believe) and I'll have a new version ready for
him to bring. Phil and I will get together to discuss the type of
collections we will use.
Arranged to come back at 5.

Early for date with Felicia so stopped to see Bob Gellman. Ken
Morgan gave him a hard time about Bob giving me an advance on
PATTON after Bob told Ken that he doesn't give advances.
Bob said that Bill Tyler had called him asking for an inventor in
connection with Brentano's TV appearance (see also 3/30) this
coming Thursday. He gave Bill my name and address. (I didn't hear
from him.
The subject of Dorothy Shapiro came up and I again suggested

the peripheries of two discs. There are circular plat-

each one has 4 platforms. 2 play and in turn throw three

An opponent's disc can be covered up to a maximum of 3
discs on a platform. Each player has the same number of
discs and when all have been placed each scores 2 pts. for
a line of 4 and 1 pt. for a line of 3. (Felicia didn't take it.)
- ROLLA DEAL POKER - a plastic playing field is mounted with
foam rubber pads under each corner. By pressing on one

the center with the object of getting it into a chosen hole.
There are 52 holes, representing the 52 cards in a deck.
There are 7 pegs each of 4 colors (for 7 card variations)
