Only one Research man reached base and that was on an error.- The Classification boys scored their run when Echeto { walked, Wexsler singled and Con- way then drove a Sharp single, which enabled Echeto to romp across the pay dirt with the win- ning run. The team lined up with such stars as: Echeto, Wexs- ler, Conway, LeChaix, Hill, Jolley, Mase, Bradbury, Lepon and Wakefield. - The horseshoe-pitching tourna- ments were played this week and as promised here are the. winners. In the singles tournament: S/Sgt Milton Webber bested Cpl Gurker 20-6 and then 21-19. The last game was a thriller-diller and Gurka threatened Webber a few times, but when the dust stopped flying Webber came out on top. In the doubles, Webber and Gurka paired up to defeat Agajanian and Schluter 21-7 and 21-13. - Pfe Penner seems to like to: sleep in the open as last Monday when dawn finally broke, there was Penner his bed outside the: barracks and sleeping like a new- born calf. - Also many fellows have been bowled over by Sgt LeChaix in his anxiety to get out of the bar- racks and head for Long Beach, or is it Balboa. — The ace kibitzer of any gin rummy, or pinochle game, is Sgt Petrina who talks a_ beautiful game, but has never won a game yet. A man’s best friend is a horse and Cpl. George Wells will vouch for that. What happened to Sgt. John Kidd and the Mexican beer he had in Santa Ana.

JAYHAWK REBOUNDS No. 9 June 12, 1944 Dear Fellow Jayhawkers: Lieut, and Mrs. Ole Nesmith just dropped in the office to say hello and good- by. Ole has been stationed in the South Pacific area for fourteen months. He is on a 15 day furlough and is reporting to Liberator Training Unit, NAS, Hutchinson, Kansas, until further orders. Ole looks in first class fighting condition - down to his old football training days. It was good to see both Mrs. Nesmith and Ole. We remembered moeting Mrs. Nesmith in New York when our basketball team was play- ing in the Garden. Sle was formerly Miss Emily Lomb. Lieut. and Mrs. Charles Black also called on us 0 week ago. We had a splendid visit and Charlie looks like a million, = finely conditioned and with an addition- al confidence that made him look like a tough combat adversary. Charlie was des- tined for the Will Rogers Field at Oklahoma City. He left here last Monday, arrived there Thursday and took his tests. They did 50,000 feet in altitude, among other things, and bofore he knew it he was on his way to Coffeyville. He is to fly a P38 Photo Reconnaisance, and the grapevile tells us that he is doggone disappointed because there isn't a gun on the ship and he wanted to do some shoot- ing, but they do say that his ship is the fastest thing out of this world. Charlie will be taking pictures and shooting other things than machine gune, but I'll bet his performance is as good in the air as it was on the. backboards and reboundse Good luék, Charlie! battens. Sonnet visiter at the office was Major E. R. "Eddie" Elbel, a member _ of our Physical Education staff who is now on leave for'military service. Major Elbel has just completed a two months course in New York City at the Institute for Crippled and Disabled, and has written a manual on exercise for the use of men in the rehabilitation programe Major Elbel's new assignment is in research in the school of aviation medicine at Randolph Fiold. Dr, Peter Karpovitch, a former classmate of Major Elbel's at Springfield College, Mass., is also associated with him in this important rehabilitation work. Already the fighting Jayhawker K men are doing something about the second generation of athletes at the University of Kansas. Ensign and Mrs, J. Fred Harris report the birth of Michael Frederick, weight 8 lbs. 9 oz., on May 26, in Kansas City. Freddie was our star quartorback on the football team in 1933, '54 and '55, vying with Ad Lindsay as one of the most versatile spiral punters of a long line of Kansas gridiron kickers. Also, Ensign and Mrs. Howard Engleman announce the birth of an 8 lb. 8 oz. son, Howard Dodge Engleman. ' Howard-was on the varsity basketball teams of 1939, '40, and '41, and broke my scoring record of 27 points when he scored 29 points in a Big Six game. So Kansas will not need to worry about her oncoming future greats in an athletic way. Congratulations to both the Englemans and the Harrises. Long may they live and prosper! Ze The bascball season closed Saturday afterncon here on the varsity baseball field when the Oklahoma Sooners defeated Kansas 11 to 2... Tom Saffell struck out 19 of the Sooners, but he issucd 6 walks and had little if any supporte-The Jay- hawkers made five costly errors behind his pitching. The first inning vas the nemesis of the Jayhawkers as the Sooners pushed across seven runs on five hits, three walks a nd three errérs. Bob Resse, of the Sooners, pitched a one-hitter, in addition to hitting a home run and two singled for thaws runs to help.win his own ball game. Baseball was not considered a championship sport by the Big Six this year as only Iowa State, Kansas and Oklehoma peared ba isevall and none of then played four conierence eee. It was just en activity affair so far as the schools were con- cerned, Coach Elmer Schaake took over the coaching reins after Jack Austin re- signed from the Physical Education Department, Every one of the varsity coaches are employed in the Departmont of Physical Education as their major work, and are doing the varsity coaching as a side line. We are just carrying on until this thing is over and then Kansas will blossom out into a new athletic era’-«we hope. On the evening of June end the K ore the University letternen's organization, gave a K Glub.dance, in Hoch Auditorium. They went "big tine" and procured Jan Savitt's Top Hatters, one of the. big tine 2aanhbe orchestras out of New York. For ea wer year the. K Club has done exceptional things. George Dick, Cordon Stvucker, Sparky, McSpadcden, Charles Moffett and Bob Malott have been the inspirational leaders back of the renaissance of the K Club. These five boys sponsored the football game at Haskell Stadium between the varsity and the alumni with a view of raising enouzh money to. subsidize this dance. Over 45C couples attended this tig party, and instead of losing money, the K Club made money, It was a besutiful affair, attended by Army anc Navy officers, as well as the enlisted men of all branches who are now in the University. Chancellor Deane W. Malott crowned the queen, Miss Shirley Otter, and presented bouquets to the ect attendants, Miss Nerma Henry and Miss Mergaret Gurley. The queen was pros: ‘1ted a five-year pass to oll athletic games by the Athletic Association. : =ne Chene:iior, in his presen nus tion remarks, declared, "This is one thing that I have alwa:s sworn IT would never do - crown a queer," But he did it gracefully, although in placing the crown he failed to tilt it at a rakish oer which night have been more becoming to the queen. With the closing baseball game on June 10, the sport fans will now cast their eyes toward the gridiron sport. It poles as if the colleges are planning to carry on their regular calendar of sports ‘next 3 ser. Kansas has already determined to go forward with football enc vasketball, as well as her other major sports, The football staff.is complete at the Universi ty of Kansas with Henry Shenk as head coach, and Elmer Schaake and Dean Nesmith assistant coaches. An eight-gemne sched- vile, with one or tw open dates yet to be filled, has already been arranged by ficting Athletic Director Karl Nlooz., The schedule is as follows; Septeuber 15 Open September 25 Texas Christian University at Hesse City Septenber 30 Denver University at Denver October 7 Tulsa University at Tulsa October 14 Iowa State College at Anes October 21 University of Nebraska at Lawrence — October 28 and Novenber 4 ~ Open November 11 = Kansas State College at Manhattan Novernbcor 18 - University of Oklahoma at Lawrence Noverber 23 - University of llissouri at Kansas City Se Football hopes at K.U. took a jolt when Bob George, frosh triple-threat man, Joe Dickey, half-back speedster, and Frank Gruden, o1l-Big Six guard, were trans- ferred by the Navy at the end of the winter torm along with several other out- Standing boys. Tho discontinuance of the V-5 program this surmer will also remove a potential source of manpower from the K.U. squad. Last year three V-5 boys won their letters at K.U. Too, the Navy has already announced that there will be a reduction of personnel in the V-12 program November first. This means that an entirely different team from that beginning the season may play the November games. Naval transfers the first of July make a guess os to K.U.'s football prospects for 1944 even more hazardous. Since freshmen are ineligible to participate until after one semester, there is little likelihood of getting much help from that source. Undoubtedly we will lose more than we will gain by the July transfers, On the brighter side of the ledger is the fact that vind letternen from last year ere still in school at the present _—" Since Head Coach Henry Shenk has a pretty good knowledge of the competition in the Big Six Conference this coming season, I asked him what he thought of Kansas' , chances, I recall the days when Shenk played for Kansas, and particularly in 1927 when he caught a pass from Art Lawrence (now coaching at Rosedale High School) and dashed 40 yards down the east side of the field for a touchdown that beat Missouri 14 to 7. Capt. Barrett Hamilton caught the pass from Art Lawrence that made the first Kansas touchdown, Kansas had experienced a rather mediocre season up until that time. Missouri was Big Six champion and had beaten Nebraska and Northwestern, and were prohibitive favorites. So when I asked Henry Shenk about the prospects for this season he replied, "So far as the Big Six this year is concerned it looks as if Oklahoma will. probab- ly be the team to beat for the championship. They have a large V=5 unit and a good many of their players back from last year, and they can also be counted on to get sone outstanding freshnan talent. Iowa State should also present a strong team since they not only have a large V-12 unit but also play a group of naval trainees corresponding to our electricians! mates, Ok Ladioria: beat Kansas 26 to 13 last year ‘in a thrilling gane at Norman, and Lowa,’ State defeated Kansas at Lawrence in a rather drab game 13 to 6. "Missouri and Nebraska and Kansas State have no naval trainees. However, this may be an advantage in Big Six competition next year. It is quite likely that the three schools that have naval trainees will suffer from the cut of personnel announced for Novenber first, and those schools playing civilians should at least be able to keep their squad intact from the boginning of the season until the end. The civilian teams are able to have longér practice sessions and more time for chalk-talks than the naval schools. The naval trainees maintain higher standards of scholarship.with fewer practice hours than do the civilians. These factors to a gertain extent counterbalance the aon of manpower.in the schools having civilians, Coach Shenk went -on to say, "Byobably Missouri should be the strongest of the three schools with all-civilien teams, They still have Delestatious, Collins and several other boys from their fine team last year who will have profited by a year's experience. Nebraska always has a good football team. Last year they had probably the poorest team they have ever had. Yot they were able to defeat Kansas by one point in a sea of rain and mud at Lincoln, perpetuating the 28-year old jinx. Coach Ward Haylett of Kansas State, whose team was in the cellar last season, re- cently announced that things were looking up for football next year with the re- turn of 140 Arny VORA aS to civilian status, These together with a promising Se array of last year's high school stars, should provide Kansas: ange with some mnucheneeded manpowers "VIhile the picture ney change alnost overnight, hingeing upon the progress of the wary various decisions of the Navy, and the general manpower situation, K.U. will have; to. battle hard.to place. in-the upper bracket.next fnll. However, there is a fighting. spirit evident among the players who participated in the Jayhawker's victory. over Missouri last fall.which had not been evident for several seasons and which may carry the young Jayhawkers to greater heights in 1944, It should be an. interesting.seasony and fans are assured of f00d football entertainment with the results. in the laps of the gods and: tho henas of, the SSepda pwns ‘the 4F° s and the Nawye" ) The Big Six Outdoor Canal \eheaubaiibieie of the conference was won by Iowa State College at Lincoln, Nebraska, on May 20. withs 67 points » Kansas showed surprising strength in taking second place with 563 points.

This was soon after he made it a point to be present at the graduation exercises of his son, David, who received his M.D. degree from Dr. Francisco's hands. The State of Kansas and the University suffer- ed an irreparable loss when Dr. Fran passed away. He was a great lover of ath- letics and youth. In fact, on every hand we hear that he befriended thousands of unfortunate people that no one else ever hoard about. When he was present at the commencenent a person told me that for years he had paid the grocery bill for a family of unfortunate people that no one ever dreamed they were being helped by Dr. Fran. Each month he kept this fanily in food without anyone knowing about it. Dr. Francisco was a great humanitarian in every sense of the word. It is planned that in the student union at tho medical center at the University of Kansas at Rosedale will be a menorial for Dr. Francisco who for thirty years gave his services unselfishly to crippled children. He was a respected and deeply be- loved teacher at the University of Kansas School of Medicine. Dr. Peete stated to me that checks payable to the Francisco Memorial Fund should be mailed to the University of Kansas School of Medicine, Kansas City, Kansas. And it just occurred to me that I have not made my subscription, so this very day I am mailing a check to Dr. Peete so that I can subscribe to my great admiration and friendship for Dr. Francisco. I remember so often when he would call for tickets, and even though the basketball games would many times be sold out, Dr. Fran would say, "“Phog, I have just got to have a ticket," and upon one or two occasions we made room for him by pushing the substitutes off to the side of the bench and allowed Dr. Fran to be our honored guest, | Several years ago I took a group of our varsity basketball téam to Dodge City, Kansas, to aid in a demonstration clinic for an assemblage of ten visiting high school squads at the beautiful new Dodge City fymasium. ‘We put on the formations and plays that Kansas used ‘in their practice and game drills, in both afternoon and evening sessions, and played a short scrimmage demonstration game for the benefit of the public. Much to our surprise and pleasure we found Dr. Francisco in attendance at both sessions avidly “eating up" our deriozstration games. He, of course, was out.in that section on professional work, but in his busy life of struggle he seemed to derive much benefit from the struggle of young mene The Office of Censorship, Washington, has called to our attention the Code of Wartime Practices, so if we don't give full addresses for some of the boys you - will know it is because of the admonition.of this office. I get.a great kick out of receiving letters such as I received from Lacy Haynes, Sr. He is always thinking of the boys' interest overseas. He says: "I am sending you Tom Van Cleave's address. I presune you have hin on the mailing list for the Jayhawk Rebounds, but I thought mybe you would be interested." Of course we did have Tom's address, but this only testifies that Lacy is constantly on the job, endeavoring to make Jayhawkers more happy and confortable, if at all possible. Lacy during peace times never missed a football or basketball gane. In fact, I believe that he has only seen the Jayhowker basketball tean lose one game in all the time he has been coming. He is our good luck charme Ens. Don P. Ebling, at 339 Virginia St., Hollywood Beach, Florida, wrote me on May 29th. He says, "They are still preparing me as an officer..... I haven't seen many fellows from school except John Kline. He is scheduled to become a gunnery officer on a DE, but his school will last for about four more months." "Ens. Jesse Paul Turner, c/o Fleet P. 0., New York, dropped in the office in May on a very short visit. On June 1, he writes, "When I returned to the ship we. had a new captain and two other men had been transferred, so we have a smaller 66 happy family. Ihave assumed» the positions of ass't gunnery officer and the 2nd division officer now, so I have some more duties that will make our future voyages more interesting." Lt.

Harley and Howard will both remember the wonderful telephone conversation they had when Howard, to- bethér with Bob Allen, was visiting Dr. Peete in Kansas City. Engleman is now speaking over Dr. Peete's telephone after calling Harley Anderson:".Hello, Harley, this. is Dr. Allon speaking. I wos just wondering how you have enjoyed working in the towel room inthe gymnasium." Jrdorson said, "Fine, thank you, Doctor.” Engleman speaking: "Well, Iam very sorry to tell you taat we are going to have to dismiss you for lack of funds in the department.

Bruce, I will never forget that night in the closing five sece onds of the Kansas - Kansas Aggie game at Lawrence when Coach Jack Gardner's boys foulod you with the score tied. You missed the first one, but, brother, you hit the sccond one and the Ball game was over. The Aggies had again lost by one point on the Jayhawker court. Ye _Jjust as we are writing this letter to you we are happy to receive a note from Lec Huddleston from the Army air field at Liberal, Kansas. Lee says, in part, "I was just transferred hero from Texas to learn how to fly B-24s, and my first cay on the field I ran into Ea Suagee, neither of us having seen the other since Mt.

S/Szt. George Hulteen, c/o Postmaster, New York, has sent me from: "somewhere in India" a beautiful brass calendar for my desk. It is a perpetual calendar for the years 1944 to 1971, and George says, "I sincerely hope that it has run a leng course of usefulness bofore you give up coaching. We who have benefited by your teachings look forward to the day when our youngsters can also come under your wing."

Well, when the war is over we will get you ail together for a: big conference and let you decide. These names of our evor-victorious teams of 1923 and 1936 pass in pageant review, and T thought you would be interested in running over the list with me. Our addresses are not complete for all of them, but where it has been possible to obtain an address we are giving. it. Members of the 1923 cver-victorious team were: Tusten Ackerman, now in Bvans- ton, Illinois; Charles Black (No. 1), with the Lizby-Owens Glass Company in Toledo, Ohio; Waldo Bowman, editor of tho Engineering News-Record, McGraw+Hill Company, N.Y.; Paul Endacett, first vice president of the Phillips Petroleum Co. Bartlesville, Okla.: Robort liosby, of Birmingham, Mich.; Adolph Rupp, basketball coach at the University of Kentucky, Lexington, Ky.; Verne Wilkin, Kansas City, Mow; Armin Woestemeyer, Lawrence; and John Wulf, Chicago, Illinois. Members of the 1936 ever-victorious team were: Milton «illen, Lawrence; Marvin Cox, Yates Center; Ray Ebling, Amerillo, Texas; Roy Holliday,:.Kensas City; Lt. Bob Holmer, with the South Pacific Floet; Francis Kapvelman, who has been ro- cryiting WACs in Chicago; Ray Noble, Union Wire Rope Cos, Now Orleans, Lue; Fred Pralle, Phillips Petroleum Company, Bartlesville, Oklae: Paul Rogers, Lawrence; Sylvester Schmidt, Marvsville, Kansass and Wilmer Shaffer, Ft. Leonard Wood. 10. Lt. John Pfitsch, c/o Postmaster, New York, writes interestingly from England. In April, Johnny says, "I attended a short course in British games and sports at the U, of Birmingham. It gave m time to study the British school system and their psychology of games, which I find to be totally different from ours. I had a swell time and learned how to play cricket, soccer, and rugby. The people I met from Canada, Australia, South Africa and America were a fine bunch and we had a swoll time exchanging ideas, I taught a class of British boys basketball for ean hour. I think that is the only game they will ever take from us, but I know they will adopt it. I think the game will have a great future in the British Isles. Of course we were supposed to be learning their games and it ended up by us teaching them ours, but I believe they enjoyed it and the association with such a fine bunch was well worth the time spent." In May, in another letter, Fon heed "I ran into a Major Frank Ebling -from a town in Missouri above Kansas City the other day.. He played for you in '25, I beliove. At any rate he was a swell fellow and was very friendly. He had followed K.U. basketball all the way, through the years, and cf course knew the famous Eblings although not being related... . I haven't been able to see any of the other fellows over here, but expect to run into any of them any day." Lt. Wm. G. "Bill" Wade, c/o Postmaster, New York, wrote me shortly after the publication of the last Rebounds. It came too late to print in that issue, so I am quoting a part of his letter here. Bill said, "I have led a squadron on a few of the raids and I never fail to put a big K.U. in block letters on one of the bundles for Hitler and his gang. So you can rest assured K.U. is giving him a headache. . . .

So we dedicate o bomb for cach alma mater. Can you imagine five universities sailing down on Berlin?"

W. E, "Bill" Bradford, c/o Postmaster, New York, also writes from England. "I'm now stationed at a B-17 field and so far have ran into two K.U. graduates. One, Capt. Frederick Mann, is my commanding officer. I think he graduated in 1951. Before the war, he was a lawyer with the Kansas Power and Light Company in Topeka.. He was born and raised in Jefferson County, not far from my home. The other Kansan is Dick Webb. You'll probably remember him = he belonged to the A.T.0. fraternity and graduated in 1942. If I remember correctly he was in one of your B.B, classes at the same tine I was, . Dick is a navigator on a "Fort" and I do plenty of sweating when he’ S on a mission."

Our people were transformed into another world, They knew what DeDay and H- Hour meant, and some way across the miles there was a lini ne, of spirits and minds for. the safety of our. boys. Every chureh and every shi ine had its significance. It might not be that the people are any more-religicus, but it emphasized whe great need for some higher power to lead our boys through the holocaust. We know that many of our Jayhawkers were in that invasion. But we have not forgotten the other thoatres in the slightest. This invasion of Hitlor's Europe seened to center on all the deep not tone of our people. Certainly the zs other theatres of war and preparation for war have not been overlooked because we realize you boys in other sector's are doing your job in the same brave and fearless fashion, hoping for the day when you can return to the normal life that you so much desire.

Note to Pfc. Miller Cameron: In your grectings to the boys of the base- ball team we failed to add Bob Allen's name, along with the rest of the gang. On page 7, par. 4, the reference is to Bob Allen being in the Army Medical Corps at the University of Pennsylvania, His a ddross is 405 So. 40th St., Apt. 306, Philadelphia 4, Pa. I thought we had better clear this up for our Jayhawk Re- bounders, else they might think that it was Bob Johnson, whose address is VF 15, c/o Fleet Postofficc, Now York. As yot, Bob Johnson has not been coralled by the fair sex. Herold "Sparky" McSpadden, a star porformor fo: the past two years as a Jayhawk basketeer, says, "Doc, these womon arc going to get us yet." And too, I owo an apology to tho 1943 ever-victorious squad, On page 8 I list the five boys who carried the brunt of the battle in most games, but I want now to mention the rost of the boys, some of whom took up the load after Armand Dixon was called to tho colors and Charlic Black was laid low with pneumonia. Certainly I ~ would not leave the 1943 team out of any all-star consideration in anybody's league.

I just reccived an original mastor rocording from Chief Specialist Ernie Klann at 5738 Woodman Avo., Van Nuys, Calif, Ernie was one of our first FKhysical Educ- ation majors after the inauguration of the four-year course in the School of Education. Ernio tells me in his recording that he ran into C, Sp. Theno Graves in the shower room, not dreaming that a Jayhawker was so near. What a thrill Ernie got, he says, because Thono was captain of the track team of which Ernic was a star miler and two miler. Theno told Ernic about the Rebounds, and Ernie in his recording says he wants one pronto, Well, Ernic, I have just finishod the Re- bounds this morning and your appeal will receive immodiate attention.
