Typed letter from Hall-of-Famer, Amos Alonzo Stagg (1862-1965) to Dr. Arthur Steinhaus briefly touching on the former's beginnings in sports and physical education. Stagg is in both the Naismith Hall of Fame as well as the College Football Hall of Fame. As an instructor at the Springfield YMCA School, he played in the first public game of basketball, scoring the only basket for the faculty team in a 5-1 loss.
Arthur Steinhaus (1897-1970) was a noted sports physiologist and physical education instructor at George Williams College in Williams Bay, Wisconsin. In this letter, Stagg refers Steinhaus to his autobiographical work, Touchdown, for answers to questions submitted by students at George Williams.
