Dr. "hog" Allen
Athletic Director
University of Kan.
Lawrence, Kansas:

Dear Dr. Allen:-

T am writing for information regerding my knee injury.
I don't suppose you remember me. I was the Coach
thet had such e bad knee and you adjusted my hips
when you were at the injury cougsse at Texas Tech.
Coaching School. You told me it was a Saecro- Tlliac
Sprain and to wecr qa bekt when it would give me trouble.
I have iniured it or it has slipped several times and
‘I would get someone to ediust it for me and I would
wear a belt on my hips for several days and it would
get alright, until here the last three moths. I was
sitting down and jumped up quickly and it slipped..

T have gone to several that heve adjusted them before
and they seem to do the job but when I wear the belt and
put presdure on the hips my knee gets worse. The knee
swells up and I cannot stmaighten or bent it to the
limit: about half movement. And it really pains.

Some Doctors say it is a loose cartilage and must be
operated and removed. I hate to have it cut on when it
hes been just as bad and get my hips adjusted the wmee
would get alright.

T have had it adjusted and wear the belt and an elastic
knee bandage and still it seems not to improve. Some
days it seems better then the pain strikes and ap really
hurts.

Please Dr. what would you advise? TI will certainly
appreciate any advice thet you might give.

I certainly enjoyed your course while at Lubbock and

have made use of it inmany ways since. I saved a boy's

- life iust after thet by beening able to adiust his neck.
