USS Farragut,

c/o Fleet Postmaster,

Sen Francisco, California.

Dear Don:

I got a letter from you Marjorie dated August 15th, and
the next day yow letter came. Marjorie wanted to, thank me for what
little I did in writing a letter of recommendation fer youe I told
her it was a great pleasure to do anything I could for you at any
time. And when your letter came it made the commumications from the
family of Ebling complete. tes “

Your letter came to my home and both Bleammr and Mrs. Allen
read it with moh interest. All the Allens agree that Don Ebling is
about one of the finest young men that we know and we are hoping that
this thing will soon be over and thet you will be able to return to
Marjorie and to us. |

There isn't much here going on except what I desire to put
in my next Jayhawk Rebounds, which I am hoping to write tomorrow if
possible. Mrs. Hulteen is kept intensely busy with the checking of
all the persomnel of A~12, V-12 and civilians for the physical con-
ditioning classes, but I will start on the Rebounds tomorrow and
trust that I will have enough information for you that it will prove
interesting.

The University campus is a thing of beauty. August has not
dried up the campus, but rather the foliage is lwurious. We have
had cool weather now for the last three days and there is a tang of
fall in the air. However, we realize that at this date, the 19th of
August, there cannot be much hot summer weather ahead. We believe
that the summer's backbone has been broken so far as heat is concerned.

The gym is in use more than it has everbeen in its history
since it was built in 1906, but we have a fine steff of fellows and
the work is going along in fine order. We have basketball practice
on Tuesdeys and Thursdays at 4:50 to 5:45 - not much time because
the service boys really have to get out at 5:45. But I am endeavor-

before the fall séason begins. Elmer Scheake and Henry Shenk will
handle our football, and with Dean Nesmith I think we have about the
finest group of young men handling football that we have had in years _
and years. ‘I don't know how much material they will have, but it will
be a fighting, well-trained outfit. |

Well, Don, I will try to put the rest in my Rebounds letter.
Hane's ietm! of good tmnk.

With all good wishes, I em

Mrs. Don Ebling,

Dear Marjorie:

I was happy to receive your letter of August 15th,
and pleased to kmow that the letter pleased you, There
is so little that we can de to help that we are always
overjoyed at any slight favor that we can bestow.

I had a letter from Don the day following your
letter. He really is a lovable and a grand boy. But I
kmow that you and I agree on that a hundred per cent.

I have never had a boy that was as loyal, fine and capable
as Don. His devotion is unlimited, and his faith is lovely
to behold. oe

Just rest assured, Majjorie, that if there is anything
we can do at any time for Don, please feel it is always e
great pleasure for us to do it. We will be happy indeed
when this thing is over and when he ean return to you end

Very sincerely yours,

Dear Don:

Now, I want to say a word about your failure to receive a
commission. Yon't you worry about that a minute, end I want you to imow
that none of your friends know but what you gave all you had, but maybe
you just didn't click with the right fellow. I+ wouldn't be Don Bbling
if he didn't plen to try again at his first opportumity. I remember
when you eames out first for my basketball teem. You weren't happy if
you weren't giving everything you had, and even when practice was over
you still wanted to stay and perfect some of the fundamentals that you
had not mastered at that time. Almost every evening I hed to send you
down because you stillwanted to work more, and sometimes you pressed a

‘Little too mush, but it was your loyalty and your desire to give service

a

that caused you to be dissatisfied with the efforts you made.

; Ana then, too, I remember in your senior year what a
wonderful improvement you had: made. No one could have believed that

You bet your life, I will give you a good recommendation -
the best that I can write.

| I think you are quite wise in looking ahead because this
war is still going to be a tough one. There area lot more Japs
that have got to be knocked off. The big job is to smash the

sliteeyes, the squareheads, and the spaghetti~benders.

Give my kindest regards to all your family, near and

Dear Cormander Tunney:

I am very happy to recommend to you Donald FP. Sbling,
‘a graduate of the University of Kensas and a star athlete in
football and basketball. Den fbling was . of the most satis-
factory athletes that I have ever coach He followed his
brother, Ray Ebling, who attained all-american honors here at
the University. It is very difficult for a younger brother to
follow in the footsteps of an oldster who makes a good record,
but Don did it Cn ne a
spor te.

Don Bbling is clean, capable and courageous. He is a
fighter to the nth degree. He knows the word loyalty from |
ig a great team man. He is intensely loyal to
he will always pass up something for himself
to pass it on to his teammates. oe ae ae varsity
competition he did not ov in any way end he held‘‘the
highest respect of @11 his fellows at ali times.

He was a leader on the campus, holding several important
offices. He comes from a cultured family at Lindsborg, Kansas,
and has been exposed to a well-rounded life. He is an all-round
athlete, being superior in any sport in which he participates.

He has unusual enthusiasm for the thing he undertakes. His
knowledge of athletics is not of the mere accidental type, but
is founded upon experience and intelligent thinking with his
smape eta

I am very happy to recommend young itn with
reservation or evasion. He was one of ny sterling athletes.

Sincerely yours,

Dear Doctor:

I am writing you in regard to the possibility
of securing a letter of recommendation for the Physical
Education program of the United States Navy.

Since the applications for a commission in the
Physic¢al Education program have been discontinued, I am
attempting to obtain a Chief Petty Officer's rating in
Gene Tunney's program. His representative is due in
Kansas City on the sixteenth of June; so, if possible,
"Doe", {*d sure appreciate a letter of recommendation.

How are all the Allen's? Please give them my regards.
I am still working for Phillips, but under the present
circumstances, I dont think it will be for long as eventually
Unele Sam will be needing more men. I am trying to enlist
as I believe in cetting in —— I like, rather than
wait and get placed.

The Ebling's are all in good health, and
the youngest of them is certainly getting grown up
and cute, Ray has been sent back to Bartlesville again,
so I dont see much of the family, and must go on
correspondence for news.

Well, Doc, I hope you will be able to find time
to help me, and shenks alot.

Sincerely,

Lom
