Since his mother and father were both K.U. graduates, and since his mother, Nee Laura MeKay, was a Phi Beta Kappa and his. father has a master's degree from the University of Kansas, I would take it that the boy has enough brain matter to do good work in a university. The boy, while a good athlete, is on the konor roll of his school.

Ence FOWLER PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOWLER, KANSAS J-C WITTER, SUPT, - danuary 21, 1946 Dr. Forrest Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Sir: Our senior class would like to take a trip, and we have been thinking some of going to the University of Kansas to see a basketball game and look over the uni- versity. Would you please send us a basketball schedule and tell us what would be the best time to bring them? Sincerely, JCWsli January 19, 1946 Mr. Paul G. Wurtz Pe QO. Box 66 Paxico, Kansas Dear — . Answering your recent communication, I am happy to answer your query. I agree with you, sir, that the boy should not sit or | lie on the floor, If they sit, the abdomen muscles are cramped and — there is interference in breathing due to a cramping of the diaphragm. If they lie down, they are subject to drafts on the cold floor, If they lie on their abdomen, there is a stretching of the neck muscles of the upper thoracic area, which does not permit free breathing. If they lie on their back, the blood rushes to their head, unless they prop their head up somewhat. I do not permit them to stand, but have them rest on one knee, with an arm on the bended knee, which rests | the entire body and pe-mits Bree breathinge By having one knee on the floor and the foot of the other leg in the bended-lkmee position it is an easy matter to rest the musetlar structure because the bony frame- work, which supports the body, 4s resting firmly on the floor. ie _ I can appreciate your: motive in not permitting the boys: to lie down because many of them have an emotional tendency and: they "flop" on the floor as if they are ready to pass out. This leads to the detriment of the whole teams' emotions and the lesser of the two evils, I would say, would be in the standing position. 7 Henry Iba has all of his men lie flat on their ehikimene with-their heads facing into each other as a fiveepoint star, which looks pretty, but it is a poor position for a hard breathing athleté. I have my men on one knee, either knee, and facing each other. The idea is to rest the framework of the boy and still develop the militaseer of an ageresat re, up and coming fellow, I trust this. gives you the desired information.

I am in receipt of a letter from Otto 0. Schnellbacher dated December 11, 1945, Officers Mess, AAFFES, liondo, Texas, in which he says, "T am a week late getting out of the army. I start dis- charging the 14th of Dec, so should be in Lawrence around the 17th. I was suppose to get out the 6th of Dec. but they couldn't handle all of us at the seperation center. Being an "Ss" in the alphabet, I waited a week." , It looks as if Mr. Schnellbacher was still in liondo, Texas, when this information was given to Western Union. | Schnellbacher will be here, as you see,'on the 17th and I am still going to find out why the message was not delivered. It looks as if your Western Union at Hondo, Texas, is without the proper information, or perhaps the proper initiative.
