The theorem that the homotopy sequence is exact splits into six statements. Scherk ([4]) obviates the use of homotopy extension in the proof of one of these statements. The purpose of this note is to show that the method can be adapted to give a direct proof of the corresponding statement in the theorem that the Eckmann-Hilton homotopy sequence ([l]) is exact. The note is based on Eckmann' s exposition ([2]). We are concerned with the proof of b2, pp. 34–35.
