Dear Dr. Allen:

Your interesting manuscript upholding the subsidizing of
athletes. was received on schedule and very shortly we shall have a check
ready for you. In the meantime, however, there are a few points which I
feel could be strengthened. We have had the manuscript copied and I am
returning the original to you in case you have no copy in your files.

We definitely feel that the affirmative could be strengthened :
if you included a few cases or reports, at least, that there now is Cp avrg leg
subsidizing of athletics. That should be made rather strong, even though be
you find it necessary or advisable to use hypothetical names of institutions
and individuals.

 

Then you could bring out something on what is the effect of Fae
subsidizing. A premium is put on hypocrisy and dishonesty. In other Edd tert —
words, it is bad moral training. What is the solution? To recognize oF op gage
openly what now is, to systematize it and have exchange of information Gi AAA ARE
so there won't be "slave bidding" - that is, a successful athlete won't (7:2
be able to “sell himself to another school.

mi point in which Notarians will be interested is the influence
of subsidizing or not subsidizing openly, on the morale of youth. In other rerele
words, let us teach youth honesty instead of hypocrisy; teach them to be appar ees
realistic, etc. Such an argument as this puts the case on a similar basis “
to that brought out in the negative discussion. In other words, a Fal * eee
strengthening of the phase of what's best for youth.

Your article is about the right length, so if additional points
are brought in, there will have to be a bit of trimming elsewhere. But
with your permission we can take care of that on the return of the article.
Of course we will send you page proofs just as soon as they are ready.

We are getting close to our closing date, so we shall very much
appreciate yaur giving these suggestions your early attention. I'11 hope
to hear from you by Saturday.

I note in your letter of August 23 that your secretary is away,
so do not hesitate to make any changes and additions by pen.

Again, many thanks for your fine cooperation.
