I have been in all the countries bordering Germany lately and now am in ‘der
Fuehrer's backyard’, Before too many moons have passed I hope we are in the
front yard with the Russians, and then we can all concentrate on the Japse « « «
Have been following with great interest the gambling incident of Brooklyn College.
You really hit the nail on the head several months ago, Doc, I figuredyou knew ~
whet you were talking about. . . »« We are still in aeey driving, Doc, so keep
open a place for use We won't be gone too much longer, :

You bet, Johnny, we have already reserved a big wide open space for you here
on Mt. Oread. As far as I am concerned, you can build your house right on this
rocke

From Mid'n, He De “Sparky” MeSpaddeif, USS Prairie State, New York, N.Y.: “I
guess first of all you and the tear are due a great deal of congrats on those
victories against Iowa State and Kansas State. Deano and I were out together
Sats night and were thinking of you all at game time, I think Dean said that
game against 0.U, was the first he had missed in 8 years, We had a great time
visiting, and how queer it was that we should be ‘bulling' here in NeYe - this
war has caused many a funny meeting, I guess."

‘And from 7/5 Virgil Wise, 123 Gen. Hosp., APO 121 B, New Yorks “I thought I
had better drop you a line to let you know that I am still knocking around this
torn up old world. I received your ever faithful and appreciated Jayhawk Rebounds
about a week ago and will say that I was very deeply touched about T. Pe's mishap.
If you remember, I was one of those small fry, so to speak, that T. P. always
patted on the back when things got roughe « « « There has been a slight change in
my intentions for my postewar education, Due to the experience gained, and the ~
interest which has been built up in me, in surgery, I am planning on transferring
from the School of Education to the School of Medicine _” |

Congratulations, Virge We will be tickled to death to see you an outstanding ~
medicose You have the ability, and it will be good to call you Docter Wise, Your
neme should give you prestige} |

From Lt. Horace Me Mason, Transport Division 54, Staff, Fleet Post Office, San
Francisco: “Have just been reading over my file of Jayhawk Rebounds and certainly
get a bang out of them. It's been a full year now since I ran into a former K.U.
athlete and being able to read about all the buys I used to kick around with fills
a big gape last Jayhawk athlete I saw was Norman Sanneman, your wild man of a
couple years back. He's a Civil Engineering officer, and was ebout to shcve off
with a Seabees outfite . . . We're in port for a couple of days right now and are
taking it easy. The heat is terrific on this side of the equator, but the nights
are wonderfule The tropics have their points, although I haven't heard of any of
the guys coming up with the idea that they'd like to stay in these parts after the
war. Hope your bali club is knocking them dead this season, as they have done &0
often in the past. I haven't seen any basketbeli since March of ‘45 when I was
still at Great Lakes. Am attached to the staff of a flag officer and our mailing
address is the division designation, rather than the name of the attack transport
we are aboard." es

“Me Je "Milt" Sullivant sends his change of address to the Athletic Dept., NATTC,
Chicago 17, Ill, Milt, if you will send Ed Westerhaus’s address we will put him
on the mailing list for the Rebounds. .
