It is almost impossible to believe that the No. 4 Jayhawk Rebounds was
written on August 20, and this is September 24. Tonight I am driving a car
load of Jayhawker football players to Tcpeka for Coach Shenk's maiien effort
egeinst Washburn Municipal University in Moore Bewl. Coach Elmer Ceohaake and
he have a Herculean task. Deon Nesmith has been helping, and he is the train-
er and the "pappy” of the outfit, Nobody knews hew strong Weshburn is, ner -
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 expected +o start tonight, The- boys.

of tcugh courses. And if they have a D in one and below passing in another —

Last Sunday in Kansas City, Missouri, five of the Big Six basketball
coaches mot without the Kansas State Coach. Kansas Stato is considering
abolishing basketball on account of tho conflict with the cadets and A-12 boys
using the gymnasium. Conscquently, a devble round robin was arranged without:
Kansas Stato. Our University of Kansas schedule is printed herewith. We are
planning on playing fewer games this. yoar with long trips eliminated. It is
aifficult to make any prophesy as to what kind cf a team we will have. As
Hunk Anderson is alloged to have said just before Notre Dame started for New
York to play the Army, when they esked him to make a spoech: *Al] I can say
is, wo will do the best I can"., So the is, our promise for the indoor sport.
