By focussing attention on indecomposable modular representations J. G. Thompson [11] has recently simplified and generalized some classical results of R. Brauer [1] concerning groups which have a Sylow group of prime order. In this paper this approach will be used to prove some results which generalize theorems of R. Brauer [2] and H. F. Tuan [12].
