Hats off to Pvt. Charles Gorden Stucker, who is now at Camp Fannin,

winning the Sharpshooter Medal, with the highest score in his battalion,
shooting 149 out of 150. Yet hig eyesight was the thing that failed him in.
his Annapolis try. A clipping from the Tyler, Texas, newspaper says that two
contests stood head and shoulders above the rest in the Tyler-Smith County
tank championships. The men's 400 yd. free style event, which usually takes
a back seat to the shorter dash events, was a highlight of the first two
nights of the tournament. A large crowd watched Pvt. Charles Gordon Stucker
fall behind Pvt. Richard Hinze in the gruelling 400 yd. event. By the 12th
lap Hinze was almost a full lap ahead of Stucker, but a burst of speed in
the last four turns gave Stucker the victery. Gordon also won the men's 50-yd.

R. W. Farris, Phil, writes from Seattle - "I was quite surprised but pleased
to learn of Quigley being made Director of Athletics at Kana sae I am sure he
will be a fine man for the job."

Good luck when your new ship comes in, Dick, - the one you are waiting fore

I received a fine letter from Bill Huggines, 709 West 6th St., Coffey-
ville, Kansas. Bill is a number one sports enthusiast of the Sunflower state.
Although an illness has kept him bedridden for a number of years, he knows
every athlete and the athlete's record in this country of ours. 5ill is a
brother of "Toady" Huggins who played on Frosty Cox's championship teams at
Colorado. He has been in England since spring, just after he finished the
basketball season playing in the National A.A.U. tournament in Denver as a
member of the Buckley Field team. When I spoke in Ceffeyville last fall at
the all-sports dinner given by the classification clubs of that city, I
stopped in to see Bill. I had never met a more cheerful shut-in in all my
life. Good luck and best wishes, Bill.

When Marine W. L. "Bill" Winey, Jr., former caddy at the Lawrence Country
Club and a friend of all the players there, visited us in Lawrence I was dis-
appointed in not having a longer time to visit. But from ail I hear, Bill,
your many friends were delighted to see you and were impressed with your golf
game. Bill has returned from Australia and is now at the Yard Dispensary,
Mare Island, Calif., where they are trying to get the rest of the nalari® out
of him before he reports for active duty.

This is a short stery about Pfc. Robert E. Allen (405 So. 40th Ste,
Philadelphia 4, Pa.) and Jean McFarland Allen, who are laboring to extricate
an M.D. degree from the University of Pennsylvania as soon as possible. You
will remember what I once said about the Philadelphians. As a class they are
much taller and much fairer than the Chinese, but not nearly so progressive.
But in the City of Brotherly Love an accident happened on Market Street that
cost Pfee Bob and Jean better than $300.

.Bob had taken his car down to have it washed - not by a garage but by
seme energetic colored boys who would do it cheaper than the garagemen. You
Jayhawk Rebouliders verhaps remember Bob's Oldsmobile job that was given him |
as a present by his parents for not indulging in the nasty nicotine habit
before he arrived at his majority. Bob's car most ef the time has been interned
on the two gallons of gasoline allowance plus the extra embargo placed in the
East against unnecessary driving. The car was shiny, spic and span, but along
came a harmless bee and lit on the anatomy of a colored gentleman's fractious
steed. Said steed tore across and street and landed smack-dab in the top of
Bob's car, hoofs and all.
