Ensign Delbert Campbell, we ~ LS? 241, oe , c/o Fleet Postmaster, ’ : San Prancisso, California. | Dear Del: _ The Jayhawk Rebounds is on the way to you, and I have written a letter to the business manager of the University Daily Kansan enclosing your cheek for $3.00, which we filled out, for the paper to be delivered to you if and when you can read it. I was interested in the description of your activities and I assure you it is stimalating to know that so many of our boys like you have left the college halls and are definitely out on the front doing real service for ow country. We are very proud of you and we will long for the day when you will be back and we can go ‘over many of your harrowing experiences. It is always most inter- esting to the people on the home front, I assure you. . Nes. Hulteen is still with us and doing a splendid job. Her husband is overseas somewhere but she has not heard since he started the long trek. He ia in the Army postal service. | We do not teach Commmity Recreation until the next semester and I a not sure that we will then. I am teaching the course, Theory and Practice of Athletio Training at the present time, so we will have to wait until next semester to see what prospects we have a commmity recreation class. We would be delighted, of course, to have you and Buescher take care of ow dancing, but Buessher did a dance Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the Congregational Church with ada K. Kirehoff as his partner for life. I was at the wedding and Sparky McSpadden was one of the ushers. did not kiss the bride. I do not know why - I imagine John's ess and reticence had something to do with it. However, when he marched out with her after the wedding he glanced over and winked at me, so John retains some of his clever self, anyhow. They had a re- ception out in front of the church and as I walked out I shook hands and congratulated them, and Ada K. said, "Well, aren't you going to kiss me?" And I said, “Surely", but I saw that long line and thought that if everybody did likewise she would be a much kissed maiden - or should I say married woman, because there were over four hundred in the church. ng Tas : qf : oZe The Jayhawk Rebounds will give you the rest of the dope. i oat oe ee ee ee this should keep you pretty well informed, in addition to what the Kansan sends you. Lots of good luck to you, Delbert. re Sincerely yours, Director of Physical Bducation, FCA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach.

Constant, 3618 bcd 16th AVGe,s 3. ¥., Seattle, Washington, Dear Harold: I was more than delighted to hear from youe It was such a pleasant surprise. I have thought of you a maber of times. It must have been mental telepathy. I have always cherished our meetings. They have been interesting, frank and friendly. You have a lot of snap, and your personality always challenged the other fellow to put out something. I kmow that you will have great success in Seattle. I want to tell you about an old K. U. man, and if you haven't looked him up in Seattle I want you to do so. I know that he could be of much help to you in a lot of ways, and if there is any way that I can help you boost the good game that you are in at Seattle I want to do it. This fellow's name is Jim ¥. Woodford, at the Lawyers and Realtors Title Insurance Company, 1109 Second Avenue, Seattle. He graduated in Law in 1905, he is en old K. U. athlete - and what an en- thusiastic one. He is highly successful financially, and I know that he will be glad to see you. It might be that you fellows would make a great go of it. Let me know if you have met him, and see if you do not agree with me that he is a great fellow. Regarding Steve - there are so many angles to that thing, Harold, thet I hardly know what to say. He has so many friends and contacts here that I am afraid he could not break away from them. In other words, I do not believe they would let him alone ince has formed these connections so intimately. He is a tremendously ine telligent fellow if he wants to be, but I am not sure that he wants the other side. And too, so many things have happened to him here of his own making that it would be very difficult for people to believe him now. He would be like the Irishman who, when he went to con- fession, the father told him he had done all he could for him so that he had better go dt the section 160 miles and get another job at a division as gedaan he wouldn't be known, and the priest of that parish, not knowing of his transgressions, would perhaps be more en- thusiastic in working with him. The Irishman did as he was told, and ~2- when he went to confession the father greeted him. Pat said, “Father, I am a very wicked man." And the father said, "You don't swear, do you?” Pat said, “I swear every other word." The priest said, "You don't steal, do you?" And he said, "I belonged formerly to a den of box-car thieves." The priest said, “Well, you have never killed anybody, have you?” And Pat said, "Yes, I killed three railroad dectectives one night escaping from a box-car theft." And he said, “You don't eat meat on Friday, do you?" Pat said, "You don't think I'm one of those blankety-blankety-blank Protestants, do you?” So I am afraid Steve would have to go up to the next section division point. Lots of good luck to you, Harold. Very cordially yours, Director of Physical Education, PCA:AH ; Varsity Basketball Coach. Re ee te iS Fes £0 Tal 1 —*.

Kansas football is still facing the vicissitudes of academic inroads. Henry Shenk came in this morning with a rather long face bécause Dean Lewgon of the College has a rule thet any student transferring from another college with a D is put on probation. This boy in particular was a fine student at McPherson High School, averaging 95 to 98 in his grades, but he cams back from Northwestern this sumer with all C's and one D. This is the cause of the probation. I am hoping that the dean will realize that this boy is in the reserve and we are on g wartime basis and not a strictly academic schedule, especially when all the eolleges are letting professionals and everybody else play, regardless. If they take this boy, Carson, out of the line-up, it is bell for Kansas. I am afraid we are not going to get too far this year. Henry Shenk and Elmer Scheake and Dean Nesmith are working their heads off, but no seoner do they overcome one insurmountable difficulty than another jwusps up and stares them in the face.

NAVAL TRAINING SCHOOL (AERONAUTICAL UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA FUINCA LINE ECANLIN x September 24, 1943 Dr. Forrest C. Allen Director Physical Education Kansas University Lawrence, Kansas Dear Doc, Thanks ever so much for the “Jayhawk Rebounder.” It is good to read about "our Kansas men scattered here and yon." Just seeing a name brings back thoughts and memories of yes- terday. I just received a letter from "Frosty" Hardacre. "Frosty" had his boot training at Farragut, Idaho. He is now stationed at Bainbridge, Maryland, going through the Navy Physical Indoc- trination School. Upon completion of his course, he will be sent to some part of the country to assist in the physical conditioning of our Naval personnel. . At present, I am stationed at the University of Minnesota. I was sent up here July 24 on temporary orders to supervise the military and physical training of eighty-one officer students going through an indoctrination course in aeronautical engineering. These men are all college graduates, varying from twenty-one to thirty-one years of age. All are ensigns with the exception of six who are j.g.'s. Their enthusiasm and response is ex- cellent. They will be a definite asset to the Navy, as they will be sent to all parts of the world to take care of the maintenance and repair of aircraft. Upon completion of this course on October 16, I will be sent back to Memphis, Tennessee. I have found Minnesota a very delightful place. It has been cool and very comfortable. I took an hour ride in an airplane yesterday. I am now convinced of the many, many lakes that are scattered over Minnesota. At this writing, I am wondering about Kansas football. Are they finding any talent in the Navy that is stationed aboard? I have secured tickets for the Minnesota and Missouri game, and also the Nebraska and Camp Grant contests. Maybe I should scout Nebraska for Schaake and his cohorts, eh? Well, Doc, I must close. Please give my regards to our friends. Thanks again for remembering me with the "Jayhawk Rebounder." Very sincerely yours, W. Mt Cannady Lieuts (jg) USNR P. S. I thought you might be interested in "Frosty"s" address. Forrest M. Hardacre, Sp. A 3/c, Barracks 115, Squadron 38, fF. I, Sehool, U. S. N.

Dear Bob: The letter I wrote you on September Sth in reply to your as to the ten best basketball players, was returned ‘to me, epparently for lack of proper address. I wrote to George Heighwy, Alum‘ Secretary of Indiana University, and he gave me the above address for you. I am sending the original letter to you in the hope that 1% will reach you this time. Sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education, PCA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach. September 9, 1943. Pvt. Robert A. Cook, Air Corps Teclmical School, Keesler Field, Miss. . Dear Bob: T am happy to give you the ten, or rather I would like to make it fifteen, and let you pick out the ten best of the fifteen and use them as you see fit. I notice that, you say "modern", so I will con- cern myself with the men who played last year. if you would go beck a piece I would certainly put Chuck Hyatt and Hank Luisetti on the list. And if you went back further I would have Panl Mndacott and Charlie Black of my 1923 team on the list. It so happens that I have had tw great players by the name of Charles Black. | The first fifteen men, as I’list them from last year's outfit, are as follows: 1. Senesky, Seorge, St. Josephs 2- Black, Charles, Kansas S$. Phillips, Andy, Illinois 4. Boykoff, St. Johns 5. Bvans, Ray, Kansas ~ 6. Komenick, Milo, Wyoming 7. Vance, Illinois 8. Tucker, Gerald, Oklahoma 9. Graham, Otto, Northwestern 10. Beisser, Creighton 11. Rock, Gene, So. California 12. Hargis, Texas 13. Kotz, John, Wisconsin 14. Sailor, Kenneth, Wyoming 15. Langer, Creighton I thoroughly agree with you that we should have our selections based on actual collegiate performances, and not what they do as prog. I have seen most of these boys in action, that I list, and this is my estimate of them. oe i Regarding Charlie Black, I believe the best testimonial to him is that Tony Hinkle and other coaches who had strong teams put Black as tops. There might be a question as to whether Senesky or Phillips should be first and third, or vice versa. I am not sure, but I think Sen- esky is one of the greatest players, outside of Hank Luisetti and Chuck @2e | \ Hyatt, that I have sem in action, but I guess that can be said of Andy Phillips, too, can it not? As for Ray Evans, I think he is the perfect athlete = the answer to a coach's dream. He is not only a fine student, but is a marvelous competitor and a modest, quiet gentleman. le is an AlleAmerican football player, and certainly in my opinion, an All-American basketball player. I would go all out on this boy at any time, If there is any additional information you would like I would be happy to accommodate youe I trust that you land your story, and hope that my letter is not too late for your mgazine piege. Yes, I ree member you very well. I remember what a shellacking we took from Branch MeCracken's boys that night in March. They were hotter than a little station stove, and I have seen some little station stoves pretty hot! Sincerely yours,. , Direstor of Physical Fduaation, PCA :AH Varsity Basketball Coach. Air Corps TECHNICAL SCHOOL KEESLER FIELD, MISSISSIPPI August 31, 1943 Dr. Forrest P. Allen, Basketball Coach, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kan. Dear Coach: For a little magazine piece on which I have the go _ sign, I am asking the country's ten leading basketball - coaches to name the ten best college basketball players of modern history. Would you be kind enough to send me a list of your candidates? I hope you will base your selections on actual collegiate performances, not what they might have done as pros, if any of them did continue in professional basketball. I want you to consider, if you will, the boys you have coached, ones against whom your teems have played, ones you have seen, and those whom you did not have a chance to see perhaps but are cdrtain have a place on that list of ten. This is to be a concensus vote, and I will not put you on the spot by crediting you directly. However, in case you name some of your own boys, which you perhaps will, I would appreciate a direct quote. Or for that matter, anything you would like to say about any of the players.
