Dear Fred:

Spring is sprung and that makes me all the more homesick for
Ke Ue especially the lilacs on the campus, and the times spent
just in front of the dorm tossing and batting the ball arounde

I got the Graduate Magazine today. I am glad that we have a
T. Pe Hunter Memorial Fund started. Although I never did get to
know T. P. personally, I have watched him on the basketball court
and together with the feeling that our great athlete sacrificed
his life fighting for security in the Pacific, 1 hope you won't.
find a $5.00 gift from me too small. I have a check enclosed
in this letter.

Sorry that Iowa State got the Big Six championship. But 1
truly respect Phog for what he said as I read it in the Kansan
about Iowa State getting the championship. He is truly a great
coach and a great man in generale By the way I got a letter
from him confirming your sending him a copy of my last lettere
Enclosed was a copy of the Jayhawk Reboundse Altho written
primarily for service men, I was interested to know the whereabouts
of out athletes. Too bad I didn't remember the name of the

Marquette coach that I mentioned in my letter.

If my work schedule comes out OK, I'll be in Lawrence about
the 9th or 10the I'll be in Minneapolis to see some Chinese
friends of mine and to be initiated into a Chinese fraternal or-
ganization, the Phi Lambda, or in Chinese (#2244 ). You may
be able to make this out better if you can't read the name in
English’ I'll probably take the Rocket from Minneapolis and get
to Lawrence about 10:00 Pe Me I'll be in to see you either
Monday or Tuesday morning. However, if another job comes along,

I may have to be back at work Monday morning. You see Fred, we

get these design jobs all of a sudden like without knowing about

it before hande I am now working on steam condensers for power
stations. There is nothing secret about my work, and what we are
doing, the Germans and the Japs also use approximately the same thing.
After all, power stations are not a direct war weapon, but defense
plants just won't run without power.

Give my best regards to Mrs. Richardson and also to the rest
of the faculty you happen to meet and get to talking. Will be
seeing you soone

Very truly yours,

/s/ Mou Hui (King)

Dear Priends:

We soaches here at the University desire to commend |
and congratulate you boys on the fine entertainment that you
provided for the visiting high sshool athletes at the annual
Interscholastic Trask Meet.

3 It shows initiative, perseverance and an inspiration
to do @ fine job in building morale for the oncoming prospeotive
student athletes at the University of Kansas.

| We are proud ef a group of fellows who carry through
as you boys of the K Club did. It was a grand meeting, and the
fact that the Governor and Mre. Schoeppel took time out from their
busy existence to honor us with their presence and to crown the
queen made their eoming a “ermoningt success.

Again, congratulations, and may we ‘express: the fond
hope that your successors will do as splendidly as you nays have

WADDY WENT DOWN HELPING A BUDDY-~-News stories from Saipan have somewhat amplified
the aerial dogfight over Tokyo that on Jan. 9 resulted in Capt. Waddy Young, Okla-.
homa's All-American end of 1938, being shot down and listed missing inaction. .
liere are exceppts from two stories: "Big grinning Waddy Young, who formerly ran
interference as an All-American end at the University of Oklahoma, is missing in
action because he still insisted on running interference for his team mates, , He

was one of the most popular plane commanders at this base and his flying mates still .
think "Old Waddy will probably show up one of these days.' » The 29-year old Young.
was flying the No, 2 position in that Jan, 9 flgghte The group was struggling ~
through bad weather and being attacked by scores of Jap fighters. The No, 3 man, ,
Lt. enjamin Crowell of Avondale, Pa, was hit by a Jap fighter which knocked out one
engine, causing him to lose altitude and speed and finally drop out of formation. .
Capt. Paul Beard of Beaumont, Tex., the unit leader, heard Waddy say on the phone, ,
"Slow this formation dovm, I am going to ride herd on Crowell.t The formation
Slowed down and they saw Young maneuver his plane in close to help Crowell who was.
under attack by swarms of fighters. Over the phone again came Young's voice, “We .
are okay.'* Then the weather closed in. Visibility was extremely: poor and the last
formation saw two planes flying out to sea but still dropping down. A search for the
planes proved fruitless. "He's. just that kind of a guy." Waddy'ts:C.0, saide Young
flew antisubmarine patrol off England near Biscay Bay and ran up more than 9,000
combat hours. Flying ‘Waddy's Wagont Young participated in thefirst B-29 raid on
Truk, the first on Toyko, and the first on Nagoya.".

 

for former Sooner athletes in the service : Feb. 13, 1945, .

 

GOSSIP....From Lt. Don Smith, our infielder three years.ago: "Iwas sure surprised
to hear that Pan "ace Campbell(Sooner blocking back of 1942 who now has an European
APO) was married. I was with him at Lincoln only three days before the big event
and he didn't say a word about it. But you know old Pan, When I get back tothe |
states I am going to spend the first month taking sun baths and drinking all the
milk I can hold. We seldom see the sun for more than a few minutes and milk is .
impossible. But on the whole we have it pretty nice. I can. tell you that I have
seen a lot of Germany from the aire"seeefrom Lt. Jack Jacobs, March Field, Calif.:.
"T ran inte Karey Fuqua at Pearl Harbor and we spent several afternoons together at
Waikiki Beach swimming. O.T.McCall was there, Ho is a major in the QM. I ran .
into Moon Mullens(track '42, Fuqua quarterbacked Biff Jones' Sooner football team
of 1935) and he-is the keeper of the guardhouse at the marine Transient barracks

at Honoulu. I also ran into Abbott Sparks, the boy who used to make sweet music —
for the Ramblers Orchestra at the University Club....in the Army-Navy game I played
fullback and bétocked the ends for Dobbs so he could passe Also backed the line,
Not the easiest job in the world but I had a lot of fun(Jake has always been a tail- .
back), I saw a lot of Okies out there. I think they are running the Pacific War.” |
From Lt.( jg) Paul Updegraff, our No. 1 fan, “I have been visiting Jap 4askell(0.U..
athletic director on leave, a lt. com. in charge of phys. ed. at the navy's big
base at Yacksonville, Fla.). Old Jap has a real sports program and has Don Faurot:
(Missouri coach) as his executive officer. Don and Jap went bird hunting Sunday
and as usual Jap killed his quorum. In fact one might stretch that statement a bit
and say he shore did get his share," Col. Roger W.Peard, (basketball '10, from
unid) of the Marines is back at San Diego....lt.( jg) Carl Lochner(track 1937) has
been discharged from the Navy and is entering private business,...from Lt. Gordon
Clarke, jr.,( baseball *36): "This sea air is wondorful but I'd trade it M for the
wind-swept prairies any time. From Ensign Andy Cary(our half-miler who will do
1:50 or better some day but will blush Shon her Poe weout it here: "I am still
fighting the battle of fort Emory. We have been going out in the surf in these
landing craft. It is just like mmh riding a wild horse only you don't get seasick
ona bucking horse." Pfc Mitch Shadid(football 1940-42) is now at March Field, ..
Calif. From Sgt. ben Tillman with tho marines in the Mojave Desert in California: _
"My conception of a desert has been shot all to hell, It has been raining steady .
here tho last four days; ice overywhere, Say, our little basketball team is doing
okay, isn't it?"

Dear Miss Ruth:

It is genuinely splendid of you to take time from your busy
hours to assuage our feelings at the time when we were so overwhelmed
at Iowa State. It is such statements from friends like these that
really do a fellow good. I am not in the least bit low, knowing that
the boys gave everything they had, but they didn't have quite the stuff
to overcome an inspired and a highly skilled, powerful Iowa State tean.

Sometimes we are stupid enough not to know the things we should
do, but the fact that you called up and asked for a little help for
Mildred Carpenter was one of the happiest things that we did. And too,
it helped us immensely because from that time on Herb Heim's morale was
the best that it had ever been all year. It was unfortunate that we -
didn't know the answer earlier in the year. I feel now that we never
would have lost to Oklahoma at Norman had we had a booster-upper at the
right time.

But just the same, I want to thank you for all the fine things

that you have always done in helping us. And I assure you I gratefully
appreciate your letter... |

Very sincerely yours,

; Direotor of Physicall Education,

Dear Dr. Allen:

I want to congratulate you on the wonderful showing the K.U.
Basketball Team made this year. Hats off to you. Honestly, when
I saw the pre-season games, I was inclined to think that we would
be towards the bottom of the Big Six. That was a rash feeling
about the matter, because I should have known that you would be
able to teach them enough basketball and weld them into a good
team, so that they could "go places". The fact that we have second
place is splendid, and I am happy for you and all the boys.

Thenk you for your little note about the correspondence study
papers. Yes, of course, I knew you couldn't take time with the
rush to these past weeks to handle those correspondence study assign-
ments. Your students know it also, and they are entirely willing
to wait until you have time to handle those papers.

: I want, also, to thank you for your vine in helping one
of our girls, Mildred Carpenter, get into the Kansas State game
at Menhatten. If you hadn't assisted her, she couldntt have gone.
As it was, she enjoyed every minute and I know it boosted her
morale and helped boost the morale of the team. ~

Thank you for your splendid cooperation.
