June 6, 1939. Mr. Forest C. Allen, : Lawrence, enne. Dear Mr. Allen: In reply to your letter of May 13, it is needless to Say that I was dissapointed at the outcome of the meeting, after such good reports I have received from the other members of the research committee. Refering to the price of my nets thru the contacts TI have made T have quoted $15.00 ‘and over a period of time users will all save money even at twenty dollars per pair. The "Bask-O-Lite" which had a list price of $100.00 and school price of $69.50. which their circular states was approved by the rules committee and I allso have before me a copy of your congratulation to the Bask-Q-Lite Co on the definite progress they have made. And in your letter to me of July 8,38 this basket did not go over in the west any better than in the east, as I find the same reaction, and the are trying to unload at any price. My nets are priced about the same as a good ball as the Lastbilt lists for $21.50 school price $15.00. And they fact that schools and colleges do not have to buy them I do not see why the price should be such a determining factor with my net. . I expect my finel papers with full patent coverage within a few days. I am not if, favor of other companies making duplicates of my net and I think you would feel the same. I can get all the financing I want on the promotion of my net and the ony conditions I would entertain such an idea would be for the other companies to buy all their parts from me plus a royalty. One large Distributor would like the exclusive distributiom of my net which I will not consider as I will treat them all alike which I think will be better for all concerned. Many fo the Coaches, referees, captains, schools, ee and clubs who hoped to use them next season are dissapointed in*not being approved, and suggested circulating a petitione to all the boys clubs schools etc. to petition the rulsscommittee to reconsider it and have it approved. I wish to state that the Bureau of Information Service Washington D.C. is interested in the outcome of my net, and several monthe ago theyhad a photographer come from Boston to take pictures of same and a complete story of my net, with and without electrical contacts. Mr. Crocker writes Quote. We are delighted with them and many of the coaches: say they will not play on anything else. Some of the veteran coaches I have interviewed said I had done such 4 a swell jot on the net could I improve on the hoop, this was a good thought — and I went to work on a new hoop and keeping within the restrictions im 3 the rules book I will have a hoop that will make them all sit up and take notice and thank heavens I will not have to have it approved. 3 I will play ball and will not consider this petition system until T [ hear from you and any other suggestions may have to offer within reason, you may allso return my nets at my expense anytime as there are several who want them he#e, one high school wants six. Thanking you again for your efforts I remain, Very Sincerely yours f LWA Lanne 20 Richards St., Worcester, Mass. [ESHEETS cy BRT BLES: This accident occurred on the 10th of June about three miles from Chanute, Kansase We were working on a country electric line which was being evils for electric lights and motor equipment for dairys which were operating under state regulations, and therefore had to have this elec= tricity. a ths Thue Sead bons Cuglews went tte ‘Siaiad teen the main line to the remainder of the line. The accident happened to an employee who had climbed the pole and was ready to tie in or make connections to make the whole line live. Two other employees had not canpleted their job of getting the guy line shifted. About one-third of the way down the guy line is an insulator called the “johnny ball". This "johnny ball" was resting on the country telephone line. The employee — put his foot on the thirstedts bolt which fastens the guy line to the top of the pole and had also shifted his safety belt and was resting there before begiming his worke When he reached up to tie in this live wire it automatically grounded him, because the guy line was touching the country telephone linee Another employee was working with him and saw immed- iately that he had gotten into the electric lines When he first came into contact with the electricity his muscles were set very firmly. All he could do was to groan and fall back into his safety belt. However, when he fell back his hooks slipped out, or were kicked out of the pole, and one foot hit the guy line just enough to lower the "johnny ball" on the country telephone line and break the connectione When the connection was broken he was automatically released, and started to fall. He fell for about three feet, but his weight was so much that his safety belt broke when he hit the through bolt in the guy line. He then was released entirely fram the pole and turned over two complete times be- fore hitting the ground face downe qm i + =2- The boss of the créw was the first to reach the injured mane He knew whet should be done, but he had studied a method of artificual respir- ation which has now become extinct and is no longer usede Therefore, I felt it my duty to take over the job and use a method which was more modern and which is the accepted method. I might say that the boss used an old method in which he pressed on the back and then reached under the hips and elevated them, and then started the process over againe I immediately say that this was contrary to the method of recusitation which I had been taught in Dre Allen's First Aid classe Therefore, I told him to open the injured man's mouth, and I would administer the artificial respiratione There was a third man near by who timed me in my first minute of work on the injured mane It SO eer that I used 13 recusitation movements, which is the equivalent to that in the Red Cross booke After he had timed me for the first minute I told him that I had my correct timing and that he should then go to the highway and stop a car so that in case we were able to bring the injured man back to consciousness he could be transferred to a hospital immediately. The first car he stopped was to be sent to telephone for a doctor to come to the place of the accident. I worked at this same rate on the patient for approximately 12 minutes, and at this time he started groaning and trying to movee When he started breathing he began coughing up blood which I could tell was from | @ lung injurye Therefore, I thought it best not to move the patient wntil further aid could arrivee I continued helping him to breathe by the use of artificial respiration, and he revived quite readily after once starting to breathee It wasn't long until he was breathing well enough so that he wented to be movede W ase During this time a car had been stopped by the third employee and the driver had consented to take the patient to a hospitale Four of us picked up the injured man and placed him in the back seat of the car, lying downe On the way to the hospital he kept wanting to take off his glove and was complaining of a foot injurye However, I did not permit him to take off his glove because I knew that the voltage of the line had been so strong that his hand was probably severely purned, and should he be able to see his hand he might have a relapse of some kind of a iach reaction which might have been fatal if his heart had not been in good conditione We arrived at the hospital and immediately preparation was made for hime Upon investigation we found that two fingers of his left hand had been practically burned off. The meat was cooked so that a short time after his injury the flesh all fell off of the fingerse However, the injury to his foot was a very minor onee The doctors had not yet been able to find out where or how the electricity passed Aisouds his body because it left no other burnse He had a large bruise on his head which was caused from the fall. He also received two broken ribs which accounted for the kind of blood he was coughing up when he started breathinge These broken ribs had slightly punctured a lunge. X-rays were made of his ribs and it was approx=- imately 8 hours before the doctors could tell where the ribs were even brokene The patient had to remain in the hospital for three weeks under the care of a special nurse, and it was nine weeks before he was per- mitted to return to work, and then he was not allowed to participate in any heavy work. This employee had been working around electricity and electric light equipment for ten years and this accident proves that regardless of how much experience one has he can never be too careful when taking chances of this nature. He was a comparatively young man, 29 years of age, and nd, aw therefore stood the accident as well as he did because his body was in ex- cellent physical condition. If it had not been for his kicking the "johnny ball" when he fell back into his safety belt he would have remained there in contact with that hot wire until someone could go up the pole after hime =.

I regret exceedingly to say I do not carry samples of all these nets therefore it will be impossible for me to send samples. If this makes it impossible to favor us with the order it would just be too bad and unfortunate but I trust maybe you can send it along anyway. One way or the other you know I appreciate your interest in my direction. There is a manufacturer on the west coast who is experimenting with some tennis ball covers, that is the felt. In his experimenting he is making up a quantity of balls, absolutely top grade balis, but is marking them “seconds” while making this test. K nowing him personally I have been able to buy some of these balis and can let the University have them at $3.00 per dozen. This would be quite a saving to you and I can assure you they are very fine balis and not in any way inferior to the highest priced balls you can buy.

We had a had very successful season,ending in a tie with Tulsa Central for the league championship and then Tulsa nosed us out to go thru and win the State title. Now for another proposition.I just noticed in the newspapers that Jay Plumley,freshman coach in basketball, had resigned at K.U. I did not know you had a freshman coach, so was surprised to hear about it.That suddenly gave me a thought and am going to see what you reaction will be to such a pregnant ideas I have a Masters degree from the school 68 Education. You are now establishing a school of coaching and augmenting the Physical Education department My 16 years of coazhing experience in many of the sports and in physical education should ehable me to suvcessfully caryy on some instructional work in this particular field if I have not been static and have showed any signs of growth. Furthermore,I am sure with the advanced degree in education,I could instruct in courses in this field and the work would be acceptable toward anA.B. degree or also graduate workeAlso,I believe I have had enough experience to successfully handle freshman basketball in additionel was thinking a combination job in the school of education and freshman basketball would be ideal and a job which I could carry on efficiently.

If you think any thing could be devéloped I would be intensely interested and wish you would check up with any coagh in Oklahoma,any school admin= istrator,and any member of the local school,or any of the prominent citizens about the work I have been carrying on here and see whether I have been getting the job donee Let me hear from youe Mitte Ce ~ Custer, Rear Mre Custer: Your letter of April 4th has @uring Dre Allen's absence in ees eee ce tant this woek, and I am sure you will a short Gince ie vel to Dre Pe Ce "au!
