Dear Roy: I find that I have great difficulty in catching up on my correspondence, especially to the many boys in the service, but I do want to write you and let you knowhow much I apprec- iate hearing from you. I endeavor to make the Rebounds answer all of these comamications, but sometimes I break over and personalize these letters as much as possible. I certainly was happy to hear the news regarding the Haynes and to know that you are getting along spiandidly. Thanks also for the clipping. I enjoyed reading it very much. The next Rebounds will be coming along shortly. ity kindést regards to you and yours, Sincerely, Direstor of Physical Education, FCA: All Varsity Basketball Coach. it & So ieee diol | pF SEB AEF.

Me have been sending them to you at the latest address we had - 1055 Euclid Avenue, Miami Beach, Florida. This is the fourth one. We get them out about once a month. Won't you tell me if you have failed to get any of the four? I do not see how it could ee ee eon eee Certainly your name has not been stricken from the list, nor will it be. When do you expeat to be transferred to Frisco? I hope that it may be your good fortune to go through Kansas and to have the liberty of stopping off in Lawrence for a little while. We would be delighted to see youre Regarding the Hebrew race being predominant in Miami, do you know of any big city where they are not predominant? Bob writes that the . little fellows with big noses are very prominent in Philadelphia. In fact, he says it is the exception to find a white man ruming loose. I know you and Red Dugen must have covered a lot of territory when you and he got together. Red is sure a swell fellow. I am very fond of him indeed. | os Thank you for your overstatement regarding my reputation. There are two types of reputation, Rope. You will alin in my baseball class you used to say, "There are two schools of thought on this subject.” Would this not apply to the reputation of your former basketball coach? When people tell me the things you say I always remind them that there was a fellow who lived just across the border over in Missouri, and his name was “esse James. He was quite a famous character and they ran his picture in quite a mumber of papers. Well, Jesse is gone, and I am the only guy left on this side of the old order. But seriously, Howard, I thank you for the compliment, but don't put me in the class of the big boys. Just keep me down with the muscle morons and that will be fine. We were to play Great Lakes and had the date of February Sth, but Tony Hinkle wrote and stated that the orders from higher up had prohibited the Great Lakes team from playing in any district but their own, the fourth H.C.AA. district. Therefore it was necessary for him to cancel games with Kensas in Kansas City, and with Kentucky in Louisville. In the many of these boys who have not finished their education coming back, many years older in experience, but still pursuing an academic course. It will be good to welcome them back when this maelstrom is past. t it I am sure through the years that those great moments that you experienced in your closing year will never be forgotten and will al- ways be not only a source of gratification to you, but a hallowed memory to be treasured always by a fellow who delivered the goods in the clutches. | We will need your best wishes because our team will be very light and inexperienced, and we will be meeting mich older and more experienced men SUBMARINE CHASER TRAINING CENTER MIAMI, FLORIDA October 3, 1943 Dear Doc, It has been many days since I have received either a personal dis- patch or one of the mimeographed circular letters which are so wele comed by all sons of Oread. I trust my name has not been stricken from the meil list, and if it has please add it now. I am about to be detached from this training center and will be order- ed to San Frisco (terrible typing) where I will become the Communication Officer on a new DE vessel under construction at the Bethlehem yard in that city. After several weeks of fitting out, cammisioning, shakedown etec., we shall be Af¥dJ7//p¢ the good ship USS England, and be assigned to whatever mission the high moguls may decide upon. I will probably be through Kansas soon but I believe it will fall my lot to be in charge of the crew, and in that event I will be unable to stop in Kansas for any time at all. Mrs. Engleman and I have enjoyed ourselves thowroughly here in Miami. The Hebrew race seems to predominate but there are plenty of fine young Army and Naval officers here to associate with. In fact I ran into Red Dugan and his wife only the other day at the beach. It was a plesant meeting Doc, and you can be sure you and Lawrence were the cheif topic of conversations I don't suppose I need tell you extent of your reputation. Even down here after my statehood is established, its not, "What does Senator Capper think about this, or Do you know William Allen White?" but rather, "What kind of a guy is this Phog Allen?" Honestly Doc, its really a tribute to your fine work. I read where you are playing Great Lakes this year again, I hope you will send me a schedule of the season, and I would also like to get a copy of that opening letter to all the players which you annualy give out. That letter wes always an inspiration to me in school and I believe in the months to come a little added inspiration will be just the thing all our fighting men will need. I hope you have all the success you deserve this year. We Jayhawks all over the world will be withvff you ever night. Even yet when I hear the Star Spangled Banner I am carried. back to the dimmly lighted Hoch where only the silhouette of your teammates and the lump in your throat drives you on to fight a little harder) SUBMARINE CHASER TRAINING CENTER MIAMI, FLORIDA Give my regards to Mrs. Allen and the whole family. And also to the 43 edition of the Jayhawks. You may reach me either through this station or through my mother at 1003 South Second St. in Arkansas City, Kansas.

I truly can understand your sensitive nature. You are exactly right, though; you are the — only fellow whose sweetheart I have mentioned in these letters. John Buescher was married, of course, so that was different. It just happened that none of the boys were engaged to a girl, cr I doubtless would have mentioned it. .

Dear President Eisenhower : in ow’ conversation at the Chancellor's home Saturday evening I mentioned to you that wo send to our athletes in the service the Jayhawk Rebounds, a commmication to give each one of the boys the address of some of their buddies and to pas out the news on the Hill as it comes to us. 3 I am using on the score board the results of each one of — our home games played last year. Practically all of our boys who played last year are in the service and that ties them up a little closer to Mount Oread. , _ For this Rebounder Fred Ellsworth, the Alumi Secretary, printed one side of the communication and we used the other side thereby tying the secretary's activities in with ours. It was @ great pleasure to meet you and Mrs. Eisenhower. I enjoyed the evening very much.

Jim Enright, Herald-American, Chicago. Reply: Ray Evans had just completed his junior year in college when he entered military service March 6, 1943, a year a go. He is 22 yoarS of age. He six feet one inch, weighs 185 pounds and is all granite. Versatile, aggressive, shifty and drives like a catapult. He was tailback, a fine kicker and a most exceptional passer. Kansas played Bernie Bierman's Iowa Prelight and Bierman characterized him a most exceptional and versatile player on a weak team. He was rated by authorities here equal to our Ralph Miller in forward passing and superior in other qualifications. I coached him in basketball and found him to be a coach's dream so far as temperament, competitive ability, loyalty and leadership are concerned. He is tops with me from every angle of consideration. Unusually modest ‘he leads the men by the power of his play, but his personalit y is all that anyone would desire. He has one more year of participation at the University of Kansas. Forrest C. Allen.
