Dear Coach

My, how time flies! It seems but a short time ago when we were to«
gether at Atlanta for a lot of fun with our football and basketball problems.
Ido not know of a more enjoyable occasion than the time I spent at Atlanta
during the coaching clinic.

While at Atlanta I met Mr. F. W. Lang, of Forsyth, Georgia, the man
who spoke on the roofgarden of the Hotel Ansley on Wednesday night during the
time that Wilbur Hutsell and I spoke on treatment of athletic injuries. Mre
Lang also spoke on tho benefits of his foot and arch normalizer. He got me to
try one out on my feet that day and I want to tell you that I have never had
anything that has meant se much to basketball players so far as their feet are
concernede I had been having seme arch difficulty due to my pivoting and
pounding in demonstrating fundamentals in the coaching school there during my
coaching work. My feet were tired; in fact, I wondered at times if I would be
able to carry on with the same zip and pep that I had done previouslys

I used this normalizer and get immediate relief by the weight of my
body pressing upon this rolling cylinder. This caused the bones of the plantar
arch to be worked back into shape normally, and of course that relieved the
nervous tension caused by aching arches. So impressed was I with this normal-
izer that I ordered two for the Physical Education Department (one for tho men
and one for the women), and one for the basketball squad. We have been getting
great service from these normalizers, and I personally wanted to tell you of
this aide

Mre Lang a sked if I would write you and tell you about his machine.
Here is his propositions. He will prepay tha pestage to you fer one of these
normalizers for your inspection and trial use of thirty days. If at the ond
of thirty days you do not care for it, if you will write him he will pay the
return postage and there is no obligation. if after thirty days use you feel
that you want this machine it will cest you $10.00 with no additional amomt
for postage. I consider this one of the cheapest and most efficient aids to
the training and treating room in the basketball quartorse. Personally, I would
not be without one, and if I could not purchase another at the price of $10.00
I would not take $50.00 for the one that I keep in my bedroom. I rell my fect
on it a hundred timos both morning and nighte |

Personally I would like to know how you are progressinge I would
like to hear from youe I wish for you all the happiness and success possibloe
Our basketball season starts soon and I am hoping that the fates will be kind
to you and to uSe

With all good wishes, I am

Sincerely yours,

Diroctor of Physical Education and Recreation,
FCA :.\H Varsity Basketball Coach.
