At the time TI hurt my knee vou were out of town.
Had you been present I have no doubt but that you could
have done the same work for me that Dr. Shook did. The
reason for my not going to Watkins Memorial Hospital was
that I didn't care to spend a couple of weeks under
diathermic treatment and still have the same injury after
the treatment that I started with. Since I was going home
the next day for Thankssiving vacation I could see no reason
preventing my seeing Dr. Shook while I was heme and I
thought that if high schools and junior colleges could handle
such situations that surely a state university could also
do the same,

My parents have worked hard for every cent that they.
have ever had, and if they had any extra money I might not
be working most of mv way through college. The fact re-
mains that thev have sacrificed throughout mv emtire ed-
ucation so that I might participate in athletics and it
seems to me that the action 6f the University in refusing
to pay my bill is an insult to say the least. Perhaps the
University does not feel that mv service# as a basketball
plaver is worth eight dollars and maybe they are right.

At anv rate I do not intend to continue giving my services,
knowing that in case of intury I am just a "has been" and
must look out for mvself and pay my doctor bills until I

can get into good enough condition that the University feels
they can use me again.

Sincerely LL
