Lt. (jg) AeM. "Murray" Brown writes us from the Naval Air Station at
Grosse Ile, Mich. He says, "Keep those Rebounds bounding this way as I really |
enjoy them. I have met up with several other Kansas friends here and they
enjoy them, too. . eThree of the officers and myself journeyed to the All-

Star football game last week. The Missouri Valley section was well represented
in Glenn Dobbs of Tulsa who played an outstanding game. I'm only sorry Ray
Evans couldn't have been present, because I think he is every bit as good as
Dobbs. Both throw hard and very accurate. You catch it or it knocks you down.
I saw George Dick in uniform but I don't think he played. I tried to see him

‘but the crowd was too big to get thru, - also it reined very harde I did see

Frank Cramer, Reaves Peters, C.E. McBride, Mike Getto, Gene Johnson and several
otherse It was just like old home week."

Murray, I am passing on to our mutual good friend, E. C. Quigley your remark
as follows: "Just tell him its the Rockhurst Brown. That will clarify the
Browns to him. He should know my number as many fouls as he has called on me.
Not dirty, doc, just rough and clumsy." He will get a kick out of it, but
you will remember he always told you, "You can't do that!"

From the Ue S&S. Naval Air Station at Memphis - Down in Dixie - comes a
note from A/C Frank Stuckey, who says, "A few weeks ago while I was on leave
I had an occasion to read a copy of the Rebounder. I met Virginia Ford
Sollenberger on the train between Denver and Hutchinson and she had Marvin's
copye I was delighted to hear of the whereabouts of so many of my K.U. friends
and happier still to find that I could be put on the mailing list by writing
te youe The Rebounder really gives you the “word'."

Thanks for your compliment, Frank, in giving the Rebounds the credit for
being “the word".

Just after the publication of our last Jayhawk Rebounds we were pleased
to receive the announcement of the birth of a baby boy to Ens. and Mrs. Robert
EZ. Hunt, on July 21, at Independence, Kansas. I promised Bob that I would
mention it in the next issue. Hearty congratulations to Bob and Mrs. Hunt!

We hope the youngster is now hale and hearty, and that his mother is feeling
fines I don't have to inquire about the father.

Cpl. Hoyt Baker, at Camp Gruber, Oklahoma, wrote on August 21; "It won't
be long now before Henry Shenk will be starting football practice there on
the Hill. Gosh, what I wouldn't give to be back. Sports are one thing I
really miss in the army. Its been so long since I've played any game I've
probably forgotten how. . . We will be leaving the States very soon. Our
outfit has been together now almost a year, so I guess it is about time we
are seeing the other side."

And gosh, Hoyt, what we wouldn't give to have you back. You would perhaps
be the very tabasco that any football or basketball team needs. The old
Spizzerinktum, the pepper and gingar - that's what you always had. We will
take a rain check and count on you for September, '45 - eh, Hoyt? This goes
for both the prolate spheroid the the "round ball". :

Lt. Chester Gibbens if with the Army Air Forces Tech. Training Command
at Orlando, Fla., and says he hopes to be able to get home for a football game
or two this fall. His leave is 3 mos. overdue, so he hopes to get home late in
Sept. or early October. Chet continues, "Denny might get home around that
times He mentioned something about coming back to the States to school. I
imagine it would be for B-29 training, but nothing definite has been said by
hime « - » I guess I've been fighting the battle on the home front and have
released a WAC for combat duty."
