I imagine you boys wonder whe re we will heve room enough for this mazmoth con-
ditioning program, We are row making a survey of the unused parts of the stad-
jum. You dovbdtiess recall that the Navy has a splendid obstacle course in the
area of the indoor track, Indoor track is out fcr the duration apparently. We
now plan to utilize some of the west. sidé of the stadium Zor our other uriits
and taen we may go into the freshman dressing rcom, remove the wooden buij]t-in
struosurs that we used for equipment, and mke a large indoor gymnasium out of
the west side. We will have'no freshman athletics, hence vhat space will be.

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, opens
October 1, Denver University, ot Denver;- October 9, -Iowor State at Lawrence;
October 16, Washington U., at St. Louis; October 23, Nebraska at Linsoin;
October 30, Kansas State ot Lawrende; November 6,. Oklahoma at Norman; November
13, open; November 20, Missouri at Lawrence. - Some of these Army ovtfits 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

assistant coach yet, but it may come from one of our P. 4, men,
