Dear Dr. Allen: From reliable authority I have learned that you are one of the foremost exponents in the United States on the subject of the immediate treatment and subsequent care of athletic injuries; therefore, I know that you realize the importance of the use of heat in treating the many sprains, muscular strains and bruises your players incur. The singular performance of your basketball quintets for the major part of the last two decades is conclusive proof that you have devoted much of your time to the study of caring for their injuries. It is only sensible to believe that you feel a player, given immediate and proper attention for his bruises, aching muscles and sensitive joints, is the sooner playing at his full capacity again. For the same reason, it is self-evident that you are open, not to new, . untried methods of treatment, but to new, proven methods. So, may I take this opportunity to place before you heat therapy treatment as practiced in the Richardson Heat Therapy Cabinet of the reclining type? - This cabinet embodies all the beneficial qualities of heat lamps; the therapeutic bulbs emit yellow, red and infra-red rays which stimulate the sensory and motor nerves and penetrate into the deeper tissues; the heating element produces a moist heat, thus setting up the proper functioning of the sweat glands. Its use for simple sweat baths to flush toxic poisons through the pores, which handle 50% of the body's elimination, and intensify blood circulation in the body to increase circulation in congested areas, is enough to merit some note for its use in training rooms. General application of heat and gentle massage of a congested area are far superior to local ap- plication of heat and strenuous rubdown, for the latter often bruises muscle tissue to a greater extent than prior to the rubdow. Perhaps you have seen the sweat cabinet in use in Nebraska University's football training room? The Richardson cabinet is of much the same type, but by reason of its recently improved design, far excels the one in use there, both in performance and appearance; further, our cabinet is simpler to operate and more complete in its function. The significant point is that this treatment is worthy of use for the static conditioning of athletes. The use of this cabinet in the training rooms of Kansas University, would mark its athletic department as a forward-looking body, with particular reference to the conditioning of men for the athletic field. Only the most noteworthy and proven materials are used in the man- ufacture of this cabinet: Westinghouse Lifetime Micarta Board, exterior Armco, 8-18 Stainless Steel, interior Chromalox custom-built heating elements Munder Therapeutic bulbs Con't.

Marsh custom-built thermometers Bryant electrical relay switches May I, in closing, ask for a few moments of your time in the near future to talk over the valuable points of the cabinet; also, to show you concrete examples of its construction and operation? I am enclosing a card, designating a Saturday, for I feel that this day would be the one fitted to your schedule for such a purpose. Any other day at your earliest convenience will serve, if you desire. Signify, if you will, the date and hour, and I will most-assuredly be there; I know well your office, for I am a former K. U. student. For further assurance I shall bring with me an engineer-technician, who will explain the electro-mechanical and in- trinsic features as they were fitted to meet the scientific need in the Richardson Heat Therapy Cabinet. Sincerely yours, E. S. RICHARDSON MFG. CO. GWY : LD July 8, 19380 I have been out of the office most of the time since the receipt of your good letter of April 19 conmeerming R. Henblin of Windsor, " vannnais liy secretary aclmowledged your letter, but I find thet I have failed to do so. 2 It is rather difficult for the boys out of the state to pay tuition here at the University as it is nearly double the feo the residents of Kensas are required to pay. I however, that it is vory little more than they charge at the University of Missouri on the asadenic hour basise I am writing Rochelle today. Doubtless he has already made te go to some college, but I want him to know that in the rush of business I was umable to write him sooner. I am happy that the Scholestic Coach accepted your article \ and paid for it.

RAMSEY, DIRECTOR April 19, 1938 Dr. Forrest Allen Kansas University Lawrence, Kansas Dear Sir: I did as you suggested, wrote the article, sent it to Scholastic Coach and they accepted it. I am to receive fifteen dollars for the article. Thank you for the suggestion. R. Hamblin of Windsor, Missouri, is one of the outstanding basketball players in this section of the state. He is one of a very few that I would say is of university caliber. He is about six feet in height, speedy, shifty, a clever ball handler, and has an excel- lent eye for the basket. I have watched this boy play for the past three years and would like to see him continue his education as he is anxious to go to school. He came over yesterday and asked if I could help him find a job at some school to help pay his way through. I told him to write you because I understand that you are not to write a boy unless he has inquired about work.

SUPERINTENDENT Cc. S. ROBINSON ASSISTANT TO SUPERINTENDENT August 22, 1938 Dre Forrest C. Allen Director of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Docs: As you probably know Gerald withdrew from the University of Kensas at the beginning of the second semester of last year, and returned home in order that we might pay some hospital billse He missed about two weeks during the month of October during which time he gave me two blood transfusions. At the end of the semester Professor Middleton gave him a grade of "F" with a note saying that “you never seemed to catch up after your absence in the fall." Possibly it is a student's place to go the entire time and to do all the catching up, but I am of the opinion that teachers are paid to do some work alsoe However, I am not writing this letter to find fault with Middleton. During the second semester of the last year Gerald entered Junior College of this city and did about sixteen hours of work as @ special student. Our Junior College has no competitive athletics. At the present time Gerald is not interested in returning to the University of Kansas or any other Big Six school. He is interested, however, in entering a teachers college. Will you please express your opinion whether he would be eligible for athletics beginning in September if he should transfer to a teachers college. Your opinion will be held strictly confidential if you care to have it SOe I assure you that Gerald and I both appreciate the many "assists" that you have given use Best regardse Respectfully, >» C.' $5.
