Jo Ann McCormick battan George A. Miller 4105 Spruce St.

4606 Springfield Ave, Apt, C5

Phila., Penna, 19143 phila Penna, 19104.... She is getting advance degrees in folk love, which includes a study of

games. She didn't seem in search of any particular information..... She thought it would be nice for me to meet some of her professors, and possibly to lecture a group on games said I'd try to arrange... it sometime next fall, He is working on computers and is interested in coming up with

games that can be worked on a computer. George is fooling around with an idea he calls DRAGO. Ta ten digits in combinations of three-012, 013, 014,...... 789 Conly I oft a digit is used there are 120 combinations ( he said, I haven't checked him). Taking a 3x3 bound there are 8 ways of having a line of 3. There for 15 bounds would have 120 rows of 3. He is trying to set up 15 boards that would include the 120 rows So far he hasn't been successful. He is thinking about a Bingo type game played using 3-20 sided dice with two sets of the digits on each. (FUTURE has a 20 sided die. George said there are some Japanese wholesale places that handle them.) George Knows a Caltech professor who claims to have invented a

game very much like LASCA.. George wanted a reference to show him. I showed him MATHEMATICL RECREATIONS by Krait chek. George thought I hat might be interested in contacting the professon because he makes up games just for the challenge... and then forgets about theme

His name is Dr. Donalt Knuth. We played a game of BAZAAR- and found that the black

backgrounds were rather hard on the eyes. - George and so Ann started a game of Focus and when Jo Ann haf. - just about lost I took over and pulled it out. They liked it and

I gave them book lets.
