SATURDAY 11 NOVEMBER Veterans' Day 1967 315th day - 50 days to come

Played THRUST with BB. Played the same as last night with the objective changed. First to advance 5 spaces into the opponent's territory on one column wins. With the limitation of "the action", once a player has a position in a column he can move right in and win. If there are empty spaces on the enemy end of a column, the player's pile can be moved there regardless of its number. In evening played with Dana eliminating "the action". This played quite well.

Blocked out letters to J.H. Morgan (3M - with filled out form) & Dr. Atwater (see 10/30/67).

Finished the cards for ANOTHER.

(cont. from 11/10) [11/10] plays first, wins his last two pcs. are left on the board to start the next game and he plays red again. If the white player wins, the plays the red pcs. in the next game and all pcs. are removed from the board. Arthur brought me a fancy board for playing THREE.

Claude saw an article in the current issue of Cavalier about Mensa which mentions Bob Abbott and WHAT'S THAT ON MY HEAD?.

Claude borrowed two books:- MACHINES, MUSIC AND PUZZLES & MATHEMATICS AND THE IMAGINATION. He also bor- rowed THE NEWLYWED'S GAME. I looked at it and it is a set of questions (various sets in a book). The question is read - such as "What color panties is your wife wearing?". The man writes an answer on a magic slate after which the wife answers. If the man's answer is correct he gets money. Most money at end wins.

Another short letter from Jerry D'Arcey. He is leaving for New York Monday.

Rcd. the 3M form from Alice.
