We are still pulling for you that your luck continues, Fen.

I believe that Otto Schnellbacher, HAAF, Harlingen, Texas, is one of the
best correspondents that we have representing the ever-victorious 1942 team. And
that is not saying that Otto is not busy, becauso he has been the backbone of
football and basketball tears wherever he has been stationed. Schnelly mentions
having seen Phil Borello who played on the football team here in 1931. Otto, be
sure to give Phil my kindest regards. He was one of the great athletes at the
University, but sickmess cut his tenure short hore. Tell Phil if he will send m
his address we will be glad to send him the Rebounds.

Cpl. Hoyt Baker, APO 72, San Francisco, who played brilliant football and
basketball for Kansas in 1942, writes from the Philippines. You bet, Iloyt, we are
glad to have Joe Roberts on our mailing list and have sent him the last Rebounds.

Capt. Ray D. Tripp, APO 413, New York, writes that he had an interesting
"“spare-time hop the other day, having breakfast in London, lunch in Paris, after-
noon tea in Brussels and supper back in London. I don't get much flying time in
these days and enjoyed it particularly as I'd never seen those cities from less
than 20,000 or so feet."

Lt. Lee W. Huddleston, APO 520, New York, wrote from somewhere in Italy in
March, saying, "The January issue of Rebounds arrived and it was almost (but not
quite) as good as a visit on the campus. There'll be quite a few important places
vacant at that big reunion after the war with fellows like T. P. and Bill Beven
gone, but the rest of us will be there still rooting for those fighting Jayhawkers.
That Pfleugerville Pflash is going great guns, isn't he? I nowhave 10 missions,
so I am no longer tail-end charley in the formation. Sidney salt has my same APO
number and Charley Black is in Italy, but the only K.U. boy I've seen over here is
Bob Jehlinek of Beloit, who played on your freshman '42-'43 squad. The parts of
Italy I've seen don't have much to offer, but understand Rome is quite nice. . « e"

From Pfc. Charles R. Allen, Jr., APO 445, New York: "Through the Rebounds,
and the folks, and the Kansans I have received, I have been able to haphazardly
keep up with the week to week news. The basketball team did fine this season.

Did me good to see the team pull up. You did a wonderful job. Kirk Scott, a frat
brother, seemed like good material to work on. I know everyone is with you 100%
and more power to you. . . Hope the town clean-up program ts taking effect smooth-
ly. It is an admirable work. The fellows from Lawrence I know are watching the
progress and thanking those participating,"

Rog, I am going to take dinner with your father at the annual Chamber of
Commerce dinner, of which your dad is the efficient and retiring president. We
talk of you often.

Lt. (jg) Francis M. "Buck” Bukaty has taken unto his bosom @ blushing
