You remember I told you Coach Henry Shenk will start football practice

on July 12. Well, here is the schedule as it is now arranged: September 25,
open; October 1, Denver University, at Denver; October 9, Iowas State at
Lawrence; October 16, Washington U., at St. Louis; October 23, Nebraska

at Lincoln; October 30, Kansas State at Lawrence; November 6, Oklahoma at
Norman; November 13 open; November 20, Missouri at Lawrence. Some of
these Army outfits are going to be tough for the age of our boys, and I

am hoping Henry can start out with a few wins. Prospects look pretty
good, but there are no large fellows. I have picked one or two boys

from my physical conditioning classes that will help him somewhat, but

as I see it the size will be lacking. I noticed the Oklahoma coach,
"Snorter" Luster, has a hundred out but he complains about lack of size.
You can't get them on the hoof like hg could in pre-war days - they donlt
come so big. It is my opinion that -owasState and Missouri will be the
toughest, but we are hoping that Henry has enough material and good

enough luck to upset the balance of power. Henry has not picked his
assistant coach yet, but it may come from one of our P.E. men.

Ernie and Mary Vanek just came by the office today at noon. Ernie was

over to take his physical examination from Dr. W. B. Key, Lt. Comdr. and
medical officer for the Naval Training School here. Ernie will be stationed
at Chapel Hill, N. C., for thirty days. Ue should be leaving pretty soon.
His address now is in care of the Topeka High Schook, Topeka, Kansas.

Note: Later address from Howard Engleman -

Ens. H, G. Engleman, USNR Howard says, “Just a card to give you
1055 Euclid Ave., my temporary address for a couple of
Miami Beach, Florida. _ months. I am now at sub-chaser

school. . - « I ran into Bill Hogben
in Frisco, It sure feels good to see one of the old gang."

Flash . . . Congratulations to Editor Chief Specialist Freddy Harris on
his nifty Richmond Air Station publication!

Oh, yes, one other note -- Hallie Harris still comes by with his foul
jokes! .... . Mr. Shick, the campus patrolman, is still very much on

the job and interested in hearing from all of you boys. .... And Professor
W. W. Davis can still cuss through his teech when he thinks of some of

the Big Six opponents, Benito, Adolph and Hirohito. .... Dean J. Jay
Jakosky, of the Engineering Schook, is leaving us August 1. This is an
irreparable loss. He is a grand fellow and most popular with everyone
here.

You will notice that I have not hooked up the names with vital combat
areas for many of our boys, and of course I will not do this because it
might give information oraid to the enemy. At the present time, however,
T.P. Hunter, Don Ebling, Fen Durand, Bill Jones, Ole Nesmith, Johnny
Burge, and perhaps many of the other boys are in mortal cambat areas.

The best of luck, boys. f know that you will keep Old Glory and the old
Jayhawk flying.

-Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
FCA: AH Varsity Basketball Coach.
