Dear Dr. Allen:

I am really not surprised that you couldn't understand our letter of
April 20th. The point I was trying to make was this: That we would
be very happy to*hold a session open for you'at our Coaching School
should you desire to say anything regarding basketball. I was not
sure at the time I wrote to you. how many of the other men we would

be able to finally secure in basketball. If one or more of them
couldn't come, we then might like to have you double in basketball in
which event, of course, we would be prepared to pay you accordingly.

devote two hours a day on a general session of athletic injuries and
if you can: conelude this subject in-three days, we would be pleased
to pay you $50.00 a day and if you could arrange to stay an extra
day with us, making four days although you need not appear ina
general session, we would allow the extra allowance of $25.00 for
transportation.

The point is that the men enjoy so much their contact with you and
I thought too that you might be inclined to spend a day.in relaxation.

I still want to leave the program open so that if you desire a session
in basketball, we. would be glad to arrange it. However, as the matter
now stands, let us assume that you would concentrate on athletic
injuries.

Mr. Thomas.is going to attend our school and be a member of our rules
panel. We plan to have a basketball rules. panel with three members
of the basketball rules committee on this panel. These fellows would
be Harold Olsen of Ohio State, Porter, and myself. -I think a very
interesting discussion might come out of this panel if you were
present in the audience as I.would like to have a clarification of
your proposal and Harold Qlsen's. You have suggested that the goals
