That was impressed upon me years ago when I was a teen- age youngster as I walked in Heinie Kaboobler's Hot Air Cafe, and staring me in the face was a big clock, the second and minute hands stepped up twenty times, electrically. As those hands went whizzing around yng clock, the caption below was, "My, how time flies." That seems to me literally true now because as the years roll by the second hand and the hour hand seem to accelerate themselves, and now I find that my last Jayhawk Rebounds was written on January 19. And I had promised in my own mind and heart that you fellow Jaynawkers on the seven seas and tho many fighting fronts would have a letter from me each month. To err and to procrastinate is human. I guess I am one of those guilty follows. The day before we started for Iowa State at Ames on March 1, I was sure that the Rebounds would have been dictated and I would reserve a flash for the result -- we were hopeful then! But with the myriad of duties I have deferred until today to write this letter. But this morning - the day when we go to Dean Corder's domicile at Welda, Kansas, where his fathor, Lee R. Corder, is superintendent of schools, for the purpose of a basketball banquet, - I am going to write this, come hell or. high water, You remember the old grandpappy dowm in Arkansas. When the floods | came the neighbors had all gathered on a high hill, and as the river rushed down the narrow valley thoy noticed a straw hat moving to and fro across the water. The neighbors marveled, and suid, “Look at that straw hat moving back and: forth, and not downstream! ‘What a peculiar phenomenon!" (although the Arkansawyers used a different word.). One young hillbilly said, "Why, don't you remember, Grandpappy said he was going to mow that lawn, come hell or high water." .. . That is a rotten joke, but I had to make my point. ‘@'exn Now, into the story of the Big Six Conforence race. ‘In my January Rebounds I gave you the set-up of the race and the porsonnel of the tcam. ‘You will see. from the final Big Six Conference standings that Iowa State had what it.took. They de- foated Oklahoma at Oklahoma City, and Kensas Stato at Manhattan, on Saturday and Mondey night prior to meeting us at Ames and defeating us on the following Friday. They dofeated Nebraska oarlior in the season at Lincoln. That was the difference.
