Cpl. Armand Dixon, c/o P.M., SanFrencisco, California, a member of the Evor-
Victorious baskotball team of 1943 with Otto Schneilbecher, Ray Evans, John
Buescher, and Charlie Black, writes us from the Torritory of Hawaii, "It sure is
sweil to know whsre all of the fellows are and a littie of what they ore doing,
and they are certainly al. dcing a great jodeesoe I believe that most of us = Otto,
Ray- Cherlie, and all the cthers are just waiting for the day that we can return
and play basxetball for K.U. again. I'm-suse that they all have had that thrtil
that I get, just tefcre the stert of a game, warming up on the floor, end +nen’ the
lights dim and a hush falls over all. The band plays The Star Spangled Kenner, and
the flag goes up slowly. As we stand on the floor I don't think there is one of
us that doesn't have a iump in his throat."

And here's word from another member of that wonderful tesketball team = Otto
Schnellhacher, who says, "I am now at Hondo, Texas, edvanecc. navigation schocl.
If I make the grade here I will be on officer, owt the stucying is hard. If I had
studied half as hard in college as I have hore I would have bven a strictly "A"
' student." We know you'll make it, Snelly, and wo are counting the days - not the
years - until you will be back with Armand, Ray, Charlie - yos, and oid Grandpa
Buescher if the Big Six wovld let him play another years
