Deay Mr. FPuoss:

I will endeavor to give you fulsome information regarding my
knowledge of the gambling situation in Ned Irish's cirouit. ha

rather hastily to give him some amwumition, |

to arouse the university and co presidents of the United States to what
i considered their duty in preventing a collegiate scandal that might rival
or exeel the Black Sox seandal. Certainly I did not desire to take a crack

to purify college athletics by remote control. But rather, I wanted to
give not only the college presidents, but the public, some startling facts
regarding the gambling racketeering which I thought they did not lnow.e |

intercollegiate athletics, - and it could be done, - then educational insti-
_ tutions would regain the prestige they have lost through the proselyting,

Now, to the meat of the thing. My son, Robert & Allen, M.).,
graduated from the University of Pemsylvania Medical school this past year.
