Dear J 283 gfe QS WES
ear Jaynawker ty ey oes ’

a I have a apeforly nex Red ross wee-fund campaign plan book, and.on .
one of the a written the —— the immortal Abraham Lincoln:
"With malice toward none, with charity for all;
with firmness in the right as Ged gives us to see

the right, let us strive on to-finish this work e

we are in; to bind up the Nation's wounds and to sie

care fcr him who shall have borne the heat cf the

battle,” . --Abraham Lincoln, ,

December 21, 1943

 
       
 

     
  

   

 

How better could we express the deep meaning ef Christmas than by using these words
of Abrham Lincoln to all of yau: boys who are now on all cf the worlds fighting

fronts.

I will tell you briefly conserning cur basketball team, It ds young,
rather inexperienced, but full cf fight and courage. In cur first game, on.Déc,.. 1
with the Herington Army Air Base, played at Lawrence; K.U. won by @ score of 40 —
to 27. On Dece 4 the Hutchinson Naval Air Station pleyed in Lawrence, and Kansas
lost by a score of 32 to 46, On Dece 7 with the Ft. Leavenwerth reception center
we faced a defeat of 18 to 11 at the half, but overcame the handicap and wen in a

driving finish by a score of 31 to 27, ;

On December 11 Kansas played Rockhurst College in Kansas City and won by
a score of 46 to 32, On the 13th, the foll-wing Monday night, Reckhurst came to
M.t. Oread and Kansas won 43 to 28. Dean Corder, the dever little quarterback of
the Kansas team, was ill with influenza for cur game Dec. 15 with the Olathe
Naval Air Base, which Xansaslost 36 to 42. 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. Centaurs on Friday night, Dec. 17 at’ Lawrence, Kansas
was still crippled badly but won by a score of 32 to 31. The boys won’ home over
the week-end, but will return this week because on the 23rd of December Kansas °
journeys to Herington, Kansas, for a return game with the Herington A.A.B. Then
there will be a collegiate double-header for two nights, December 29 and 30, be-

tween the Universities ee Missouri, Kansas State College and Washburn
