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. And the way things are looking now, that day of expectancy
and realization is coming closer, |

With every good wish to each one of you, I. am

Very sincerely yours,

P.S. 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.
The éntire squad who received letters ond experienced a wonderful ovor=-victorious
triumph wore: John Buescher (capt.), Ray Evans, Charlie Black, Otto Schnellbacher,
Armand Dixon, Harold ifeSpadden, Jack Ballard, Paul Turner, Hoyt Baker, Bill Brill,
Max Kissell, Bob Fitzpatrick, Don Blair, George Dick, Bill Forsyth, and John Short.

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. You pro-
mised to write m a letter, and wo want to know about your wife and family.

FCA.
