I played against this bey and he is very geod. He is about 6'2" and has
a big pair ef shoulders. He likes te play ball, and is a fighter - the type
you like. ee _ :

I acknowledge with a debt of gratitude Ray's fine letter. He a lways has
the old K.U. spirit, whether in the States or with the Gypsy Task Force.
There is hardly a day passes that seme fellow on Massachusetts Street doesn't
say, “Won't you be glad te have Charlie Black and Ray Evans and Otte
Schnellbacher and Armand Dixon, and the rest of the beys back?" And you
know what my answer is - a big affirmative YES, with an exclamation?

From Majer Paul R. Harrington, MC, APO 350, New Yerk: "The casualties
are flewing in on the Western Front and we are in the thick of it. Thank
geedness they are way under what has been expected and the combat beys deserve
a great pat en the back. We cannot de teo much for them."

Congratulations, Major Paul, en the new rank. We are certainly preud
ef you, as we always were when you played on the three Big Six champienship
teams and captained ene in your senier year. And tee, you werked your way
threugh scheol and made a wonderful record, then went on te get your M.D.
at Rasedale with an outstanding recerd behind youe

Miss Maude Elliott and her mother, Mrs. Sam Elliett, were hostesses at
a “cinema party" at Mr. Fred Montgomery's Visual Instructien Bureau in the
basement of Fraser Hall about three weeks age. The animated celebrities and
salubrities were none other than the family of Lt.(jg) W. C. "Bill" Johnson.

Bill was the chief character in a sport stery that I wrote entitled
“Listening Fer a Droning Plane". Bill flew from Oklahoma City after being
taxied from the cemetery, the eccasien being the burial of his father, and
the plane that carried him was grounded at Ottawa because the Lawrence airport
was net lighted. So he taxied in te Lawrence and arrived just afew minutes _
prier te the Kansas - Oklahoma game which was the game fer the Big Six
champienship in 1932. In next month's Rebound I will reprint this stery of
the drening plane and the fight that Bill waged en that historic night.

_ The pictures that Miss Elliott showed were of Bill, his wife, Ethel,
and their two levely children, Billy and Jo Anne They were in Jacksonville,
Flerida, and it seems as if we spent hours with that fameus Bill Jehnsen
smile. His levely wife and children gave us a glimpse inte their very happy
heme life.

Thank you, Migs Elliett, for giving us this opportunity te visit with
Bill and his family. We have always been expecially fend not only of Bill's
own family, but ef all his fine brethers and his wonderful mother and dad.

In February I received a letter and clipping from Helen Filkin Fox, a
sister ef Major Larry Filkin. Helen's husband, Jehn F. Fox, is president of
the Punahou Scheol in Henelulu. She writes: “You see, you even crash the
Honelulu paperse Yeu and Jehn sheuld get tegether. He's been waging a cru-
sade against the gambling at high scheol feotball games here. Have seen
Twink Starr and Jehn Wall, and hear Potsy Clark's here. . ."

Yes, Helen, I remember when I saw you on the campus that I promised te
put you and Mr. Fox on the mailing list and I am sending you this Rebounds I
am just now writing and the ene previous te this, although it is rather be-
