Dear Dr. Allen,

Enclosed is a list of basket ball players examined
and the pathological findings noted. None of them are of great
significance. The routine examination of basket ball players
included urinalysis and x-ray of the chest, in one case (Mosser)
fluoroscopy of the heart and in one case x-ray of the right knee
(Hartman).

We do not routinely give a chest x-ray with the
yearly examinations but have done so on the basket ball players
each year to make sure there was no undiscovered heart or lung
pathology and as a matter of record. I believe every athlete
should have a chest x-ray at the beginning of the season.

Sincerely,

jal L, Carncteaor
