(cont. from 1/17) [3/2]
Classic Games:- <u>CHESS</u> sets.
Crestline:- Nothing news.
Four Score:- <u>FOUR SCORE</u>. Got a sample - they were giving them to
everyone.
DMR Co.:- <u>LET'S PLAY GOLF</u>, <u>LET'S BOWL A GAME</u>, <u>LET'S PLAY BASKETBALL</u>,
<u>LET'S PLAY FOOTBALL</u>. All completely luck - turning up cards
and following the play as listed. <u>SEEK AND FIND</u> - finding words
in a grid of letters. (See '71 Ad Clips.)
Frederick Primus*:- <u>THUMP-ALONG FOOTBALL</u>, <u>FIELD GOAL</u> - action
games. <u>HUDDLE-UP</u> - a bluffic game with a football motif.

board and with copy for each on the two sides of the box.
He thinks that games can be done like records, with an
unknown game put on the "flip side" of an established game
until it catches o n.
He wants me to sign a copy of <u>''AGOG''</u> for him. Will buy
one tonight and I'll go to rm. 406 tomorrow morning
and sign it for him.
Parker Bros:- Spoke to <u>Randy Barton</u>. Asked if I could go there
to use the archives. Sure. Told him about leaving out a thank you
to Parker in <u>''AGOG''</u> because of <u>Hank Simmons</u>. Randy said that Hank
