DEAR DOCs

| WAS DELIGHTED TO RECEIVE YOUR LETTER OF FEBRUARY 15, AND No.
13 OF "JAYHAWK REBOUNDS", BOTH OF WHICH DRIFTED IN HERE THIS AeMe
IF ANYTHING 1S GOING TO REACH ME WITHIN 6 WEEKS, IT HAS TO COME
AIRMAtILe

WILL YOU PUT MY NAME ON THE "JAYHAWK REBOUNDS" MAILING LIST?
|'D SURELY APPRECIATE ITe TO COME TO ME BY SEAPOST, leEey NOT AIRMAILe
|T WOULD GIVE ME A CHANCE TO KEEP UP WITH SOME OF THE PEOPLE | KNEW,
ALTHOUGH | TOOK A LOOK IN TME MIRROR FOR GRAY HAIRS AFTER READING No.
[3 BECAUSE | KNEW ABOUT 2 |/2 NAMES MENTIONED, No More!

IT WAS GOOD TO HEAR OF THE HAPPY LIVES-OF THE VARIOUS AND SUNDRY
ALLENS, DOC, AND REST ASSURED |'M WRITING MIT RIGHT AWAYe VERY HAPPY
TO LEARN WHERE HE IS, AND WHAT HE IS DOING. TELL HIM NOT TO FRET TOO
MUCH ABOUT THAT DISABILITY BECAUSE SOMEONE HAS TO KEEP THE HOME FIRES
BURNINGs EVERYONE CAN'T GO TO WAR, YOU KNOWe 7

IF "JAYHAWK REBOUNDS" ALREADY HAS BEEN FOLDED UP FOR THE BEASON,
GOULD YOU HAVE SENT TO ME THE NUMBERS FROM NO. 13 ONWARD THROUGH THE
LAST NUMBER FOR THE 1944-45 SEASON? MANY THANKSe AND| THEN MAKE SURE
| GET THEM FOR NEXT SEASON, TOO.

THE PACE MUST BE TERRIFIC FOR YOU, Doc, BUT YOU SEEM TO BE STANDING
UP TO IT WELLe UNDERSTAND JOWA STATE WON THE BIG 6 THIS YEAR=-TOUGH
LUCK, BUT YOU CAN'T WIN 'EM ALLe

WHAT, IF ANYTHING, HAS THE NCAA DONE ABOUT GAMBLING BY nowt THE
ONLY REMEDY IS TO TURN THE GAME BACK TO THE COLLEGES AND THE KIDS AND
TAKE IT AWAY FROM THE REALM OF PRIZEFIGHTING, HORSERACING AND THE LIKE,
WHICH IS WHERE IT WAS WHEN | was IN THE USA Last JANUARY AND FEBRUARY
THAT GOES FOR ALL COLLEGE SPORTS, TOO, NOT ONLY BASKETBALLe SURELY ALL
STADIUMS AND FIELDHOUSES OUGHT TO BE PAID FOR BY NOW, OR HAVE STILL
OWING COMPARATIVELY SMALL SUMS WHICH CAN BE RETIRED BY THE COLLEGES IN
NORMAL GHANNELSe

PLEASE REMEMBER ME TO DOLPH SIMONDS AND PAT MALONE, WHOM | ASSUME
IS STILL AT THE J-W. TALKED To TeD BY 'PHONE FROM New YorRK AND IT WAS
A GREAT PLEASURE.

|'M LOOKING FORWARD TO A VISIT TO LAWRENCE WHEN THE waR 1S OVER AND
| HOPE TO SEE YOU THEN AND MRSe ALLEN AND MIT AND PERHAPS SOME OF THE
REST OF THE FAMILY.

WITH ALL BEST WISHES AND KINDEST PERSONAL REGARDSe

SINCERELY,
