Pvt. Floyd Svoboda, who was at Ft. Riley in April, says, "T want to-thank you
very mach for’ mailing the Jayhawk Rebounls to me. Its renliy great to be able to
read about the boys from KU. The iast I saw of a larcée bunch wes last March, a
year ago, when we were at the Loavenworth Reception Gexters Since then even. they
have beén widely scattered. I had © lucky experience white on weneuvers in Tenn.
in March, JI lost my brother's address, and a fow days latex received the Jayhawk
Rebounds with a letter he had written end also his address. He (Lloyd) is at
present in 0.C.S. at Ft. Benning, Ga."

Ralph Miller, in 0.0.8. at San Antonio, Texas, wrote on April 25 that he was
trying to get his gold bars at Son Antonio, and that Ray Evans was in 0.C.S. at
Mismi. We wish’ both of these bovs the -best luck in the world. They were both
physical instructors at Scott Field, Ill., for several months before going to 0.0.8.

Cpl. Armand Dixon,. c/o P.uM., SanFrancisco, California, a member of the Ever-—
Victorious basketball team of 1943 with Otto Schnellbacher, Ray Evans, John
Buescher, and Charlie Black, writes us from the Territory of Hawaii, “It sure is
swell +6 know where all of the fellows are and a little of what thoy are doing,
and they are certainly all doing a great jobecsee I believe that most of us = Otto,
Ray, Charlie, and all the others are just waiting for the day that we can return
and play basxetball for K,U. again. I'm sure that they all have had thot thriil
that I get, just before the start of a game, warming up on the floor, and then’ the
liguts dim and a hush fails over all. The band plays The Star Spangled Banner, und
the flag goes up slowly. As we stand ‘on the floor I don't think there is one of
us that doesn't ‘have a lump in his throat." we wt

And here's word from another member of that wonderful be.sketball team = Otto
Schnellbacher, who says, "I am now at Hondo, Texas, advaneca navigation school.
If I make the grade here I will be an officer, but the studying is hard. If T had
studied half as hard in college as I have here I would have been a strictly "A" —
' student." We know you'll make it, Snelly, and we are counting the days - not the
years - until you will be back with Armand, Ray, Charlie - yes, and old Grandpa

Buescher if the Big Six would let him play another yeare

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.
