fer this year. But we are impreving and only the eppesition can slam us down.

In leeking over the team I thought ef what Wellingten said when he re-
viewed the Anzacs before the Battle of Waterloo. He looked over the fierce
Australian tribesmen and said, "Well, I de not know what the enemy may think,
but they sure as heck scare mei" Anyhow, I am hoping they will scare the

opposition.

PLASH...... Dean just get his call from New York this morning.
We are ready to leave fer Oklahoma, but Dean will net ge with us. He will

pull out fer the East, and ether peints.

Dean has ether brethers in the

service, You remember Lt. Ole F. Nesmith, USNR, whe was captain ef the Jay-
hawk football team in 1934. S/Sgt. Glen L. Nesmith, whe was here as 4 freshman,
is one of the paratroopers who were trapped at Bastogne. And Dean lest a
brether. early in the war - Pfc. Clair W. Nesmith, killed en Batann, January 9,
1942. Se Dean knows what the word service means, and I am sure that he will
render much valuable aid in his werk as trainer and lecturer. Se be looking fer
"Pappy" Dean Nesmith! He will have a message from Mt. Oread fer all of you
fighting Jayhawks. We expect him back in feur months, and we will him Ged-

speed and bon voyage.
