of charges of professionalism against
several noted middle west athletes, di

case, the alleged excessive expense ac'
counts Of amateur athletes included
the cost of bringing an athletes wife

When invited to big eastern meet,
Ray let it be known that he wished
to take his wife, and that the maxi

amateur athletes would be insufficient
for both. The club promptly allowed
additional expenses for Rays wife, and
from this incident, chiefly, the charges
arose.
