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.
