Professor V. P. Hassler,
School of Enginceringe /

Dear Professor Hessler: —

Ya hove tried a number of times to reach you by
phone today, but failed in our attempt. I wanted to
assure you that we have investigated the cause of the

injuries to the three Engimeoring students which you
meres SS me

fwo of these injuries occurred while the condition
ing class was playing basketball - not Mexican basketball,
the rough and tumble gamo, but a regular game of basket-
ball, The instructor reported that one of his students was
limping a bit and if he received a broken bone it was not
evident at the time. It was probably « greenstick fracture.

It is our purpose to teach safety in athletics, and
not to indulge in activities which are dangerous to the
students. We are definitely chesking with the hospital on
all cases of fractured bones, but I do not think there will
be many which actually occurred during a physical condition-
ing clea.

{ appresiate yor tsterost, emi thank you for calling
me about these thres students in your olasase

Sincerely yours,

| Direstor of Physical Education,
FOA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach.
