Dear Phog:

When you come to the Big Six meeting next week, why don't you bring
your golf clubs, stay over a day and we will get together for a game
on Sunday, August 13. It occurred to me that this would be a good
time for the basketball coaches to have a little fun and take care
of any unfinished business from the meeting.

Understand that George and Louie have already planned to stay over and
we would like very much to have you join us, so sharpen up your putter
and let me hear from you soon so all necessary arrangements can be made.

With best wishes, I remain

Sincerely yours,

Dear Dr,Allens:

Much has happened since our last corre snondence, We enjoyed your
Chrisbmas edition of Jayhawk Rebounds No.6,

On 1 January 1944 we received our orders to move out to a new
station, We worked Christmas day and moved to our new station
on new years day,unpacked Sunday and were ready to operate
Monday morning. Our skipper is a hard working man and a real
fellow with his men. He works right along with us so we don't
mind putting out fow a fellow like that. He is well liked and
respected by all his men.

We have started a little basket ball since we came to our new
station . We have played five and won five so the boys are doing
all right. Most of the boys are college men and know what the
game is about. It would be a coached dream to have all that
material for a college team all on one camnpus,

My new assignment is Athletic,Recreation,& Welfare Officer for
M.O.T.G-81. We had a agquadron at Cherry Point and now we have a
group or 6 squadrons, Also received an increase in the pay
envelope starting 31 January 1944,with permission to wear two
bars on my shoulders, That was quite a thrill when the word
came that I had been moved up a rank, I hope I can do the job
well and be worthy of their confidence.

There is much to do here but I am enjoying my work and in a few

weeks we will have some recreation facilities for the men, We had

to start from scratch, Now we have a swimming pool to be finished

in Avril, a temporary recreation hall to be used until we get our
nermanent one which will be finished in September, our picture

show opens 13 February, and we have a minature gym about ready

to move into for boxtng and wresttring. At least they know we are aboard,

Rec: a letter from Fred Harris and he is at Princeton as an Ensign,
He did have a very good basket ball. team at Richmond,Fla,Too bad
he had to go off and leave them,

Mrs.Griff is with me, The housing conditions here are far from
adeauate, We are living in the home of Budge Dixon,Judge of
Superior Court of N.C. We have a very large room, We take our
meals out but so far it has been auite satisfactory . The
officers club will soon be available for the wives too so that
will help.

It is time for me to get to work so I will close for now,
We wish you much good luck at the Alma Mater, Ag th

Dear Doc:

Thanks for the JAYHAWK REBOUNDS. They're great. Although
I'm still on this side of the pond I get many happy moments
reading your “newsie." I dontt know of any one who is doing
so much good for the men in the service as you, Doc,

Your teachings, your name, and your good sportsmanship
is being carried to all parts of the world by the men who
have been associated, in any way, with you. . I am proud to
hold you as 1-A in all ways in my mind. To think of you
reminds me of another great, Percy Parks.

Well, Yoc, now to tell you something of what I®m doing.
I'm stationed at the University of Southern California as
an instructor in physical education, V=-12 program. I have
been here since March 20. Prior to that time I was at the
naval training station, San Diego. There I was in the visual
education department, showing looking films.

Undoubtedly you have visited this socalled campus. It
doesn't compare to a second rate high school in Kansas. We
do not have any athletic facilities here. One small field
Bor everthing. One of the chiefs here is an alumnus of USC
and don't think I don't give him the Once over on the USC-Kan-
sas game in the N.C.A.A. tournament in 1940. Boy, I well
remember that game.

Doc, one of your players of last season is here. Homer
Sherwood. He is doing well but will have to hurry to make
the squad here this year. Have some good men on hand at the
present time.

Please note my change in address. Give Mrs. Allen,
Mit and all the gang a hello for me.

Dear Phoeg:

This letter will probably come as something of a

of the fiercest, fightingest Jayhawks you can capture?
You have probably read of the Ninth Air Force that

Our Jayhawk will see and do plenty.

As a reward for your efforts I can promise you a

Dear Toms

I spoke at Southeast High School last Wednesday night and
met a most outstending you man, Dwight Friecke. I understand
that either his father or mother works for you. The boy is
from a broken home, but if there is any finer shap that I have
met I do not kmow it. He is a sterling basketball player and

will be eighteen soon, end of course will go in the service.

But I would be most happy to have him as a student at the
University of Kensas some time after the fuss is over. He will .
need some financial help in the way of work but we oan provide ¢
that for him. I know what difficulties these boys from broken
homes have in working out their future beoause they do not have
an opportumity to go to the home base for the coumsel that is
So nesessary in the formative years.

: I thought I would write you and see whether it is the father
or the mother there working for you, and to know in general
what-type of salary thay are making. It will guide me in help-
ing him. It might be possible for me to see the parent, who,

I understand, is married again, which makes added difficulty

for Dwight.

I dislike to take your time in this matter but I would like
to have the backgroud so that I could oe ee
his problem when the opportunity cones.

With all good wishes, I an

Director of Physical Education,
