about six or seven years ago he called me from Springfield, Mass e I was
at Iowa State College where Kansas was playing a basketball game. ile
sent a player out to m frevr Sprinzfield to Lawrence, Kansas, and was
making the date over the telephone. He told me that after I fixed his
kaee he was @ble to go ahead and meke $40,000 playing hockey. Previous
to the work on his knee he had been laid up for a year or two go that he —
was inoapacitated. The joke of the thing is that I did not charge any

This put winter Eddie Shore recommended that the Cleveland Hockey
Club send one of their’star players, which they did. I only mention these

I do trust that the program is so that I might have a session in

when the opponents take you all over the floor a la Gene Johnson's razszle
dazzle. I velieve those three points are very apropos at this time.

I am perfectly willing to leave the mtter in your hands and we
will agree on this schedule as you have outlined it - that I will appear
three days for you but will agree to stay four days so that I can make
the contacts that you desire. It is always a pleasure for me to met with
the men and since you pay me the compliment that you do, you kuow people
are always vain enough to recognize those things. I would, however, very
much like to have a session on basketball. I believe you umderstand the
point that I am making and that basketball is my main business, and that
theory of athletic injuries and treatment of them are not at the present
time, — I have developed some outstanding mete

I am very sure that with Mr. Olsen's theory of isihabing the floor
two feet and mine of raising the basket two fect we should have some fun.
