Dear Fellew Jayhawkers:

My, hew time flies That was impressed upen me years age when I was a
teenage yeunmgster as I walked in Heinie Kabeebler's Het Air Cafe, and staring
me in the face was a big cleck, the secend and minute hands stepped up twenty
times, eleetria@lly. As these hands went whizzing areund the cleck, the captien
belew was, "My, hew time flies."

That seems te me literally true new because as the years rell by the se-
cend hand and the heur hand seem te accelerate themselves, and new I find
that my last Jayhawk Rebeunds was written en January 19. And I had premised
in my own mind and heart that yeu fellew Jayhawkers en the seven seas and
the many fighting frents weuld have a letter frem me each menth. Te err and te
precrastinate is humam. I guess I am one ef these guilty fellews.

The day befere we started fer Iewa State at Ames on March 1, I was sure
that the Rebeumds weuld have been dictated and I weuld reserve a flash fer
the result -- we were hepeful then! But with the myriad ef duties I have
deferred until teday te write this letter. But this merhing - the day when
we ge te Dean Cerder's demicile at Welda, Kansas, where his father, Lee R.
Cerder, is superintendent ef scheols, fer the purpese ef a basketball banquet,-
I am geing te write this, ceme hell er high water. You remember the eld
grandpappy dewn im Arkansas. When the fleeds came the neighbers had all
gathered en a high hill, and as the river rushed dewn the narrew valley they ne-
tieed a straw hat meving te and fre acress the water. The neighbers marveled,
and said, "Leek at that straw hat meving back and ferth, and net dewnstream!
What a peculiar phenemenen!" (altheugh the Arkansawyers used a different werd.)
One yeung hillbilly said, "Why, den't yeu remember, Grandpappy said he was
geing te mew that lawn, ceme hell er high water.". . . That is a retten jeke,
but I had te make my peint.

New, inte the stery ef the Big Six Cenference race. In my January Re-
beunds I gave yeu the set-up ef the race and the persennel ef the team. Yeu
will see frem the fimal Big Six Cenference standings that Iewa State had what
it teek. They defeated Oklahema at Oklahema City, and Kansas State at Man-
hattan, en Saturday and Menday night prier te meeting us at Ames and defeating
us on the fellewing Friday. They defeated Nebraska earlier in the seasen at
Linceln. That was the difference. We lest te Nebraska at Linceln in ene ef the

hettest games that I have ever seen the Cernhuskers play. lIewa State get a
further break in the fact that Kansas played Oklahema at Nerman, and Iewa

154.
