Dear Phog: I received your Jayhawk Rebounds #13 and it amazes me how you can find the time to put out such a voluminous document. You certainly have a world of interesting dope in there and I enjoyed it very much. It is very thoughtful of you to send it to me and I think an extremely thoughtful gesture on your part to keep track of all your boys, through the medium of the Jayhawk Rebounds. I know a fellow across the water certainly must get a kick out of it. While I, as you know, was not on any of the athletic teams at K. U., I know all the people you are talking about and most of them are my friends, and I again want to say to you, I enjoy reading, this and appreciate your thoughtfulness in sending it to me.

NAVAL AIR STATION OTTUMWA, IOWA 8 August 1945 Dr. Forrest C. Allen Varsity Basketball Coach | University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Doc: I enjoyed receiving the memorendum concerning Kansas Alumni in their service throughout the entire world. I noted, especially, the very fine remarks con- cerning my visit at the time of the Conference Meeting in Lincoln. These remarks were greatly appreciated. I am still on duty here but every indication points to my transfer before the Basketball season gets under way. In a conversation with Everett Case, he will undoubtedly assume the Basketball duties on my departure. He again spoke of his interest of having Kansas University on our Basketball schedule. If you have any available dates, I should greatly appreciate being able to work out one or more scheduled games. I have just learned that Bobby Kinnan, Washington University, St. Louis will soon be released to inactive duty. While many of our older officers had thought it would be possible to be released under a late Navy announcement, it now appears within our group that most of our men will be continued in service for some time to come. With very best wishes to our mutual friends and locking forward to hearing from you in the very near future, I am s Sincerely yours, ee FE. S. HICKEY Lieut., USNR.

Naval Air Station - Ottumwa, Iowa Dear Eddie: I am auknewledging your letter of August 8 regard- ing a basketball game for next season. ' We are playing only a few games in addition to our Big Six schedule. During Christmas week Kansas State, Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas will play two double-headers in the Munici- pal Auditorium, Kansas City, and doubtless we will play Wash- burn and Rockhurst in home and home game in preparation for our conference games. Our boys will, of necessity, ie young. Therefore, we are not contemplating playing either Army or Navy teans whose personnel will be much older than our early teen-age boys. While we would like to accommodate you with a game, we do not believe that our men would be a match for your boys. And too, the absence from atheok under our Navy program is frowned upon. Give Everett Case my regards and wish him lots of luck for me. I will be seoing you upon your return to our country e : . ‘Sincerely, Forrest C.

A Formula for a Better Way of Life i —*— pA improvement in the art of living which consists in exercising self-control and self- denial, making the mind superior to the body by overcoming the use of all coffee, tea, colas, chocolate, cocoa, cigarettes, ci- gars, tobacco, beer, wine, whiskey and any other nostrums containing habit forming drugs. By so doing, people save money (averaging $200.00 per family per year), have better health, a longer and more en- joyable life, clearer minds, better human relationships and best of all create the will to win.

Hopkins: Dear Professor Hopkins + ‘ When I was at the International Convention ef Rotary — in Chicago fram June 18 to 21, one of our very good District Governors from Dedham, Massachusetts, - Rev. Lyman V. Rutledge, asked thet I convey his kindest wishes te you. He said he will never forget the time when, after his father died when he was living in Oklahom, he dropped out of school from December to February. He vividly recalls your calling him in t the office and telling him that a choice for a Phi Beta Kappa key was mde between him, Rev. Rubledge, and another young man. And of course since Rev. Rutledge was out ef school for that time, the key had te go to the other young fellow. Rev. Rutledge said that compliment you paid him was better even than the receipt of a Phi Beta Kappa’key. He has always held the memory of your acquaintance in the fondest poss-~ ible way, and he asked that I convey his sincerest wishes to you. He is minister to First Church at Dedham, Massachusetts. \ He intended to get out this spring, but was thwarted in his pur- pose.

I have been looking thru the United States Armed Forces Institute catalog, but have been unable to find one course offered in this field by any institution. ae oes | I have several questions that I would like to have answered. Does Kansas University offer graduate work in the fiels of physical education? If so, could you send me a list of the gubjects which that institution recommends. Do you offer any of these subjects by correspondence? If so, which ones? If you do not offer any of these subjects by correspondence, can you name some other institution that does offer them, which your institution would accept? Would you please include a price list for the hours if available? I graduated from Baker 'niversity, Baldwin, Kansas in 1943, and have spent most of the time since then in the Navy, where I am still serving. I understand I will qualify under the G.I. Bill of Rights for 1 more year and feel I would like to put it in getting a Masters'. I have some spare time on my hands at the present and would like very much to get started if at all possible. I hope I am not too bold for mentioning this at the present time but I would be quite interested in working while attending school, preferably in the field in which I intend to further my education. I have no idea when I will be discharged from the service, nor does anyone else, but do you employ any such students as aids? I am married, with 3 children, 2 of which were born while attending Baker University. I have competed in the 4 major sports over 12 years, 4 of these years in the U. S. Navy. I served as Physical Training Instructor, at Morningside College, Sioux City, Iowa, for 1€ months, while they had the 8lst. College Training Detachment of the Army Air Corps before entering the service this time. It would be very kind of you if you would answer the questions which stated above. I wish to thank you for it in advance. Sincerely Yours, Naw. 0.1 Marvin 0. Hodges (_
