Chicago, Ille

Dear lir. Teetor:

In reply to your favor of the 5th instant, beg to state ~
that I will be very happy to contribute @n article in the
affirmative for The Rotarian on the qaesnecs "Should College
Athletics be Subsidized?" .

I notice that Major John Le Griffith has daleaetek an
outline of the negative side of the questione I am asking you
very frankly if it would be wnethical to ask for his outline,
or rather than to have the outline would you give me a general
outline of what he is coveringe

As Mre Dill told you, I am decidedly and vehemently opposed —
to the tramp athlete. Meany of the collegiate and academic organi-
zations state that they are without prejudice for or against the ~
athlete. I maintain that there is discrimination against the
athlete, and expect to show it, but I would like to get my two
thousand words arranged the best possiblee Naturally, being
opposed to the tramp athlete, it will be necessary for me to
state my premises before I make my point on the discrimination
against the athlete, and further, I hope to show a remedy rather
than to merely criticizee

: This is now August 8th, end I am afraid that I will be
forced to ask for August 20th. It is a very difficult thing to
prepare an article that you would be happy to see published in
‘that short a time, combined with my other dutiese

Mrse Allen and the girl members of my family have been in
New York for two weeks, and they are now on their way to Louis-=
ville where my oldest daughter lives. It may be that they will
prevail upon me to drive to Louisville. In this case, I will
mail the article to you from Louisville. Won't you please reply
at your earliest convenience, giving me the information that I
want?

Very cordially yours,

Director of Physical Education,
