Dear Dr. Allen;

Thank you most kindly for your fine letter of July 27,
relative to diet for athletes.’ I had not intended for you to
take the trouble of a lengthy letter; it was my thought, as I
stated in my first letter, that you might have some printed
material on hand. I am getting out a couple of letters to the
football squad during the month of August, and want in each
instance to bring in many of the things you suggested concern-
ing the proper use of food and liquids. It is Surprising how
Little many of our athletes know about these things, and prob-
ably more surprising to realize how little attention many
coaches pay to that important factor. Wouldn't it be fine if
our athletes could get around a well planned training table,
especially during the competitive season of their sport?

Thanks again, Doctor, it was very fine of you to do
this for me and it will be of real value to me in my reconmenda=
tions to my: boys.

With kindest personal regards, and every good wish,
I am

Sincerely yours ,

 

Coach of Football
