ah Re Le “Bob” Bock is now at Perrin Field, Sherman, Texas. He says,
"Two events that have occurred at K.U. while I have been gone have pleased me
very much, The Wm. Allen White Foundation and fun should make for K.U.'s attaining
a high role as a school of journalism, and since journalism is my interest, good
news it certainly was, Then Ernie Quigley's appointment as athletic director
should be a boost to the school, I read the Topeka Capital article reporting his
appointment, and I feel quite sure that Mr. Quigley means what he says and will
give his all to boost K.U. athletics."

It is always good to hear from you, Sports Colmnist Bob Book. Keep firing
your entertaining letters in our direction. Ee C. Quigley will be glad to know
that you feel as you do,

Chief Specialist Eddie Hall, USNTC, Great Lakes, Ill., says, "Bob Hope
said that the boys overseas write their girl friends that a letter from home is
like a five-minute furlough, Your Rebounds are thirtyeminute furloughs, I+ is
good to sit down and read about the big things some of the boys are doing. Some
are doing real well for themselves, I wonder if T, P,. Hunter has gotten back into
the serimmage yet. He is probably try herd if he is physically able, And
Knute Kresie is on top as he was on the diamonds » » » Doe, I'm still
here at Great Lakes trafning recruits, I had a short cruise on the A, lantie
last winter, Other than that, I've been here all the time, » « » I am coaching
the Regimental Boat Racing Crew. What I know about it you could put in a smali
book but we are in second place out of twelve regiments, It is a lot of fun’ but
takes up all my extra time."

I am glad, Bddie, that you think the Rebounds is a good thirty-minute
furlough. You can always bet that Knute Kresie will be om the old mound firing at
the brothers in the batter's box, He always looked good to me when he faced
the opposing batsmen.

Chief Specialist Theno FP, Graves writes, "I'm stationed at the University
of Southern California as an instructor in physical education, V-l2 program.
I have teen here since March 20, Prior to that time I was at the naval training
station, San Diego. .« » « 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."

Theno, the next time you see Homer Sherwood, tell him I am betting on
him to make the squad. He was slow in starting here at the University, but he got
goinge Just give him a good chance and he “i prove his worth,

— 3/sgt. Ae George Hulteen (APO 495, fe P.M.,)New York) passes his Rebounds
around to four or five Jayhawkers somewhere in India. George, I want to say that
if you will send me the addresses of these other boys we will be glad to mail
each one of them a Rebounds. I imagine, George, the main topic of conversation
enong your buddies is « when do we get out of this hot spot and get a chance to
be shipped back to God's country, Am I guessing correctly?

Capt. John T. Andrews, Adj, Gen. School, Ft, Washington, Mde, writes:
"Was in Washington a few weeks ago to see the Quartermaster for some items, While
leaning over the counter looking for items I glanced up and there stood Lester
Kappelman looking like a million dollars, We went into a huddle that was all
too short. Great to see him." |
