Dear "Doc" Allen,

Thanks a million for the copy of the Rebound which I enjoyed reading
from start to finish. It is always good to know how other Jayhawkers are
making out.

Although we have not been receiving the basketball scores on a regular
schedule I did notice that your team this year is a winner. I heard several
scores the other night from the Arm Forces station in Tokyo and they announc-
ed that Kansas University had defeated Missouri and Kansas State. That's the
kind of news I like to hear.

I have a young brother in the Navy who expects to be discharged within
a few months. He is 19 years old and has never been to college but expects to
enroll at either Kansas or Missouri this fall. Of course I have been trying
to sell him on K.U. and I was wondering if you would help me out and drop him
a few lines, He admires you and your basketball teams and I know he would be
thrilled to hear from you. He is a pretty fair basketball player himself and
he is six feet tall. His address is, James J. Dynan, R.M.3/C, C-Div.-PA 41-
Du Page, @F.P.0. San Francisco.

Thanks again for Rebound No. 18 and if there are any more printed I
sure would be glad to receive one. Time passes rather slowly for us now and
the best thing for morale is keeping in touch with the home front.

I might add that in a recent voting contest up here a Kansas University
freshman was elected "queen" of the island. Her name is Miss Harger, and she
was one of the queens for the M.U.-K.U. football game.

Best of luck,
