Mr. Al Sutphin, President,
Cleveland Mockey Club,

Dear Mr. Sutphin:

It was very nice of you to write me as you did in your letter
of February 5th. You certainly have been very thoughtful regarding
Norman Locking's future. if all employers were as thoughtful con-
cerning the welfare of their e@aployees as you have been I am sure it
would be a very happy world.

Yes, you are quite right. I em the basketball coach here at
the University of Kansas and have been for 28 years. I taught five
summers at Springfield College, Springfield, Mass. I was giving a
course in the Strategy of Basketball and another in the Treatment of
Athletic Injuries. During one of my clinics Eddie Shore
with a bad Imee. IT was able to fix his kmee and I learned after his
knee had mended he went back in the came and made about $40,000 - so
I am told.

About five years ago he phoned me and sent one of his players
from Springfield. I was fortunate in fixing him up and felt very
happy about it. I hope that we will have as good luck with Norman,
although I told him that his age combined with the pounding that
his knee has taken made his case not as favorable as the boy who came
from Springfield, Mass. I will be happy to know how he is progress-
ing.

And I do thank you for your thoughtfulness in sending the check.

Very cordially yours,

Director of Physioal Education,
PCA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach.
