Dear wir. Allen:

I saw the article in Time as wel asthe editorial

in the Sat, Evening Post, and am muchly interested
in clg@an sports, do hope you will keep punching as

I have been suspicious for several years of the same
things you reported. I remember a few years ago
when two taems played foot-ball and one was susposed
to be a certain winner but lost by a substantial
score. The only notice I ever saw was that coach
Jones fired several of his top wen when he arrived
in Los Angeles.

I have written a friend of mine that has many sports
writters amoung his friends and have suggested that
he make an endeavor through them to open up this
racket. As horse raceing is now closed there will
be thousands of gamblers looking for a new racket and
our college sports will be the next thing they will
take over. The sports writters will not only run out
of a job but will soon-be classed with the gamblers
should they not try to stop this goon.

My father, Charles Sollars live@ in Independence and
as I used to visit there ever so often, I met all of
the Allen boys and knowing them to be good sports, I
am making this effort to help.

Sincerely,

Bedottees
