the game for Kansas. George Dick, minus one of his front teeth which he
lost in practice last week, did the wignal calling from his end position.

The remaining games on our football schedule are:

November 6 - Oklahoma at Norman

November 13 - Central Missouri State Teachers
of Warrensburg, at Lawrence

November 20 - Missouri at Lawrence

November 27 - Army “Centaurs" at Ft. Riley

Now for basketball. In the last Rebounder we told you that Kansas
State would not play. A double round robin schedule was made out for the
Big Six teams omitting Kansas State. Later Kansas State decided to play
and the Big Six will be represented by its full strength in basketball.
Efforts are now being made to fit State into the Big Six schedule without
making an entirely new basketball calendar.

The Homecoming Committee which met at the Alumni Office on October 28,
1943, sanctioned a basketball game between the varsity and the ASTP (the
A-12 boys) on the evening before Homecoming game with Missouri. It was
agreed that the program would be worked around the game, and in between
halves the football queen candidates, the football coaches and the represent-
atives of the football team would be presented. And after the basketball
game in Hock Auditorium a big bonfire would be set off outside.

We start our first regular fall daily practice on Wednesday, November $rd.
Enrollment for the winter term will be Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 1 and 2.
We will then have the gymnasium for the 3rd. Five of our basketball players
are on the football team and of course will not participate until after
the season is over, but we will start our fundamental drills with the material
at hand. This will give us less than three weeks before our first game. The
A-12 boys have a pretty strong outfit because the pick of many of the colleges
are enrolled there. Howard Porter, who is my assistant in basketball, and
the chairman of the A-12 boys, will coach the Army. As you know, the Army
boys are not permitted to participate in intercollegiate athletics, so this
is an intramural contest on the campus that will give these boys a chance to
play a game against the varsity and at the same time stimulate and build up
intramurals in their outfit. The stage will be seated in view of the many
soldiers and sailors expected in addition to the crowd of civilians.

As was our policy last year when our varsity basketball team rode the
chair cars to New York and return, we are going even further this year in
cooperating with the ODT to avoid needless travel congestion. Our policy
will be to play as many of the service organizations in and ground Lawrence
and in the state as possible. We were offered contests in New York,Denver,
Milwaukee and Oklahoma City, but turned all of them down because we deemed
it expedient to travel as little as possible yet give our boys the athletic
participation that they so much enjoy. The longest trips we will make will
be in playing our Big Six opponents.

I am giving you below our tentative schedule. The home games are

underscored. It is possible that we may play the Hutchinson Naval Air Base.
We will give you more of our personnel when we know more about it.
