Well, Paul, there aren't many fellows left, except of course, as you know, Henry Shenk, Reg Strait and Dean Nesmith. Pfc. Don E. Blair, Don, in his letter of July 19, pre- Co.

W. Brill, Sq 601, Class 79, Bks. 6, 60th Training Group, Keesler Field, Miss." We have four new men in the department that we want to acquaint you boys with. They are: Howard Porter, a Missouri graduate, who was at Argentine High School and a teaching associat of Eddie Ash: Vernon Hayes, 24 who is a brother of our Rutherford B. Hayes, captain of our football team in '55. Vernon has been teaching at Waterville ans was to teach at Wamego. Elmer Schaake, who coached a great Liberty Memorial High School team to an undefeated championship last fall. And Jack Austin, who played on Fran Welch's football team. Jack was in school working on his doctor's degree and we hired him to do physical conditioing work. These boys have charge of the A-12 group -- 776 of them who are quartered in Lindley Hall. The A-12 group will confine their physical conditioning to Hoch Auditorium so far as possible, using the stage and all the basketball court, from 7:30 in the morning until 4:30 in the afternoon. The Navy V-12 students use Robinson Gymnasiun, and the civilians will use the west side of the stadium, the freshman football shed. At the present time the A-12 boys are eating their food down at the stadium. Installations have been made so that refrigeration, kitchen locations, and all are temporarily used under the stadium until Lindley fall can be put in shape. The freshman dressing rooms have all been repainted and you would hardly know the place if you would walk under there. When you have nearly eight hundred men eating three times a day. you can imagine that Uncle Sam-has gone to some expense to insure the hygienic conditions for these men. Volunteer women members of the faculty are aiding in the service at meal time for these chaps. Now, regarding the football program. Henry Shenk, Elmer Schaake and Dean Nesmith, the three Kansas musketeers, all of whom have played on former Kansas teams, will start varsity football practice September 1. The schedule has undergone some change and we are bringing this up to date. However, there may be some additional changes, and we will notify you in our next letter. September 24 (night) - Washburn at Topeka October 1 (night) Denver at Denver October 9 Towa State at Lawrence October 16 Washburn at Lawrence October 23 Nebraska — at Lincoln October 30 K. State at Lawrence November 6 Oklahoma at Norman November 13 (open) | November 20 Missouri at Lawrence Many of the colleges are giving up the sport. The OPA will definitely check on automobiles coming to football games and other athletic contests, so I see a very curtailed out of town attendance. I seems to me that night games in Lawrence might prove financially beneficial. It is not out of the realm of thought that Kansas could make more money playing night games at Haskell Stadium than they could by playing games in the University stadium in the afternoons. The Sunflower Ordnance plant has been greatly reduced in personnel and production. This plant was built out here more as an alternate plant in case the plants near the coase were bombed, and it did look for @ shile as if they might put this plant into full production. Many of these employees and civilian merchants can get away at night, but are not apt to sacrifice their working hours and the money that it entails to see an athletic contest. But they will go at night. 25 We have not made our basketball schedule as yet, but perhaps the athletic directors and basketball coaches will meet in Kansas City on September 4 to draft the Big Six basketball schedule. We will send it to you in the next Jayhawk Rebounds. Of course you will realize that in football and basketball the only boys that we will have will come from the navy personnel, and the V-12 program is so strenuous that if any of the boys are low in their grades they will not be permitted to play. And too, none of these boys have had fundamentals such as our freshman received, so that the ‘dated cannot be of the high calibre that it was even last year. Walt Lochman, of KMBC, called me this morning and wanted to know the name of the football coach and to get the Kansas Schedule. Walt is doing some broadcasts for OWI and for overseas consumption. I believe it is his scheme to broadwast for the soldiers, sailors and aviators the games in this vicinity, such as Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and so forth. I think it is a fine contribution that they are making to you boys. While we were playing Fordham in New York last year Joe Hasel of the Blue Network asked me to broadcast “canned talks", of course, for the boys overseas. He was asking all of the so-called big time coaches who came to New York to talk so that the boys in the ddfferent combat areas would hear the voices of some familiar names. I want you to know that there are millions of loyal hearts beating for your safety and your welfare. God bless you all. We are hoping that it will not be too long until you are back among us agdin. We feel deeply indebted for your devotion. Very:sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education, FCA: AH Varsity Basketball Coach. 26 + eta te ee TK ; August, 1943 oes ae Baa ? es ee: ia Soe eee : pe ey § a RS This Avgust 20th morning is 4 refreshing one.

Tonight I am driving a car load of Jayhawkér football players to Topeka for Coach Shenk's maiden effort against Washburn Municipal University in Moore Bowl. Coach Elmer Schaake and he have a Herculean task. Dean Nesmith has been helping, and he is the trainer and the "pappy" of the outfit. Nobody knows how strong Washburn is, nor do we know how strong Kansas is. Henry Shenk has had some tough breaks in the way of losing some of his key men that he ex- pected to start tonight. The boys carry 19 hours in the Navy, and that includes physics, mathematics and a lot of tough course. And if they have a D in one and below passing in another subject, they are pulled out of competition. It has been very difficult for the boys to adjust themselves to all the new situations that they are confronted with; consequently, Henry will not have many football players available that he would have had if the eligibility of the Big Six been enforeed. Here at Kansas it is a lot tougher than the Big Six eligibility rules demand. Fred Ellsworth is planning a get-together after the game with Topeka alumni and Kansas followers. We are hoping that it will be a joyful meeting. FLASH11 4% The game ended in a scoreless tie: Kansas 0, Washburn 0, Last Sunday in Kansas City, Missouri, five of the Big Six basketball coaches met without the Kansas State Coach. Kansas State is considering abolishing basketball on account of the conflict with the cadets and A-12 boys using the gymnasium. Consequently, a double round robin was arranged without Kansas State. Our University of Kansas schedule is printed herewith. We are planning on playing fewer games this year with long trips eliminated. It is difficult to make any prophesy as to what kind of a team we will have. As Hunk Anderson is alleged to have said just before Notre Dame started for New York to play the Army, when they asked him to make a speech: "All I can say is, we will do the best I can". So that is our promise for the indoor sport. 1944 Basketball Schedule (Big Six) January 8 Missouri at Columbia January 15 Nebraska at Lawrence January 22 Oklahoma at Lawrence January 29 Iowa State at Ames February 12 Oklahoma at Norman February 19 Nebraska at Lincoln February 26 .

We are delighted to put you on the mailing list, and we trust that they will be a source of information and inspiration now and thene To Ray Evans, Scott Field, Illinois, who was here visiting on the Campus a few weeks ago: Ray, I apologize for treating you like a stepchild. The morning you were here seemed to be an unusually busy time. Mrs. Hunter told me of the delightful time she had with you and Harriett when you spent the afternoon in her home with her grandchild. Ray, you are really get ting right down to family style in a hurry. Eh, Ray? Word has cane to us of the promotion of E. Be "Burt" Degroot to Mijjor. This makes two fine men from our Physical Education Department who have attained their majority - Major E. R. Elbel and Major DeGroot. If you soldiers want to make a hit with those fellows, call them colonel? To Ensign T. Me Van Cleave, Jr., USNR Armed Guard Center (Pacific), Treasure Island, San Francisco, California. Tom was formerly a practicing attorney in Kansas City, Kansas, and was our "first aid" and the most important one among our alumni in interesting young boys to obtain a higher education on Mt. Oread. I want you to lam, Tommy, that we enjoyed your letter very much and we are using this, with your permission, to show how men in the service feel about the continwnce of athleties in colleges. Every good luck to you, old fellow. I saw your wife, Caroline, at the wedding festivities. She looked fine, healthy, and happy, but I know she must be lovesome for the old mane “After being in the Southwest Pacifie for sometime I recently returned and found that Dad had written mervand enclosed your excellent pamphlet, Jayhawk Rebounds. "It is as you know quite difficult to keep up with the news about people and places when you don't receive your mail for two or three months. However, when you do get your mail it is really a pleasure to sit dom and leisurely read it starting with the first and reading till you cath upe This of course gives us practically all the information about what has happened while we are gonee "I notiee in your Jayhawk Rebounds that you discussed the coming football and basketball seasonse I am certainly glad to see that you are planning to continue sports at the University of Kansas. This would be true even if they had only 11 men out for football and 5 men out for basketball. "All the service personnel that I have come in contact with are interested in what happened in the world of sports. Regardless of the caliber of the players my men and all the rest are interested in whether the Yankees won or lost and who is going to play in the World Series. The men unde me are of course only a cross-section of service personnel generally But I am certain that they are truly a representative groupe "I recently ran across John Breidenthal who is recreation officer for a large camp. It seemed that he had been coaching the basketball team without a basketball. Fortunately I had one on hand which we covidn't usee I gave this basketball and a few softballs to him and he was very glad to get theme Sle "Please give my regards to Mrs. Allen and Mit and Isabelle. Sincerely, Tom.” RUMOR!!! Authoritative talk is going around among the wise ones that the War Department will raise the ban on the Army boys in the colleges so far as athletics are concerned soon after the football season is over. Doubtless the ODT saw too much travel and congestion for the football season. Basketball, requiring much smaller numbers, may get the nod. However, due to the traffic congestion, the Army may not grant it, but the word in the East is to the effect that they will. We are indebted to Lieut. John T. Andrews, 541 Kenwood Avenue, Dayton, Ohio, and old Purdue athlete, formerly president of Lawrence Rotary Club, and an official in the Kansas Public Service Company, for his beautiful tribute to Wayne “Gus" Nees; "Yhile home on leave I saw Wayne's parents and they are brave indeed. Mrs. Nees showed me the letters from Wayne's company and regimental commanders, a captain and colonel respectively. They praised Wayne as an officer and for his gallentry in action. Beside the Purple Heart medal he was awarded the Silver Star. “Wayne's first sergeant was hit and Wayne went out to get him. He, too, was hit. A slug tore through his stomach and he was taken aboard ship for treatment. Wayne lived over night, knew his number was up but took it like a soldier. "A sailor gave him a blood transfusion but to no avail. This sailor boy wrote Mrs. Nees three of the finest letters I have ever read. He was with Wayne until the end. "The chaplain wrote them a most comforting letter. "After reading these individual longhand letters the lump in your heart swells even more -- What men! What an Army! I, too, second that. What men$ What an army! What a navy! What an air force! I notice where some Yanks said this morning, "When do we go home?" We can't answer that but we can all pray that it won't be long. Until then, God bless you all. Faithfully yours, Director of Physical Education, FCA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach.

Don Barringten, fullback on the foote= ball team and forward cn the basketball team, had a severe charlieherse which handicapped him, and Sparky lMcSpadden, the lone regular from last year's cutfit, had a stone bruise. All these factors contributed to the defeat of Kansas by Olathe. Jack Ballard, of last year's championship team, appeared in the line-up for the Ft, Riley C.R.T.C.
