expenses.
Lack of adequate proof" Of
expenses incurred may take
money out of athletes pockets
and put it into the Treasury's

The courts ruling was in the

former tackle for the Detroit

football at Ohio State.
Thomas claimed 81 ,225.65 ex-
penses for 1946 In his tax returns.
He estimated he spent that much
for such things as auto repairs.
tires, gasoline. food, hotel and
lodging and equipment while
away from his home in Colum-

Lions.
The Internal Revenue Bureau
disallowed all but $500 and

Tax Court.

us little information as to the
details Of the stems claimed, such
as the number Of trips from Co
lumbus to Detroit. the distance
travelled. the amount of gasoline
and oil used, the nature Of re-
pairs. ETC."
On such a showing, the court
said, it could not find for
Thomas for the full amount Of
his claim, adding:
I'VE are satisfied. however,
that he spent a considerable sum
in connection with his business
as a professional football player.
playing for the Detroit Lions. In
the absence Of adequate proof Of
the total amount, we neverthe-
less find that he should be al.
