Dear President : I have been appointed by the Athletic Board as Varsity Baseball Coach for the season of 1941. All of the regulars with the exception of two have either quit school or graduated. Our last year's freshman material coming to the Varsity this year is the slimmest in the way of outstanding prospects in all Kansas history. There- fore, we are definitely in need of replacements. We want hitterse If your fraternity has any baseball men who have had high school or independent baseball experience and who have completed 27 academic hours in the College or 28 in the Law School efEngineering School, we would be desirous of having them report to use College baseball is essentially an amateur sport and we expect to keep it that waye Training is just as essential for baseball as it is for football, basketball or track, sowe want men who will train, who are enthusiastic and who like to play baseball. We will appreciate your cooperation ami by calling this to the attention of your Qhaptere Thanking you, I am, Very cordially yours, Director of Physical Education and Recreation Varsity Basketball Coach Fraternity Acacia Alpha Teu Gmega Beta Theta Pi Delta Chi Delta Tau Delta Delta Upsilon Kappa Sigma Phi Delta Theta Phi Gamma Delta Phi Kappa Psi Pi Kappa Alpha Sigma Alpha Epsilon Sigma Chi Sigma Nu Sigma Phi Epsilon fau Kappa Epsilon Triangle Professional Fraternities Alpha Chi Sigma Alpha Kappa Psi Kappa Eta Kappa Nu Sigma Nu Phi Beta Pi Phi Chi Phi Mu Alpha Theta Tau Colored Fraternities Alpha Phi Alpha Kappa Alpha Psi President Robert Burns Richard Westfall Charles Case Robert Holmer Jach Severin Robert McKay Richard Hansen Jerry Hellings Paul H.

All the jobs are wide open and there certainly is going to be some competition for places of\ this year's Varsity. Do not forget your twelve push-ups night and morning on your fingers and toes. Physical fitness and the desire to battle courageously is about 60% of any sport, whether it be football, basketball, track, or baseball. So let's get in tip-top physical shape, use the medicine ball, punch the bag, skip the rope, play handball, and indulge in all these body building exercises, so that when we get out doors to circle those bases and to throw thet apple around in an intelligent and vigorous feshion, then there should be no strained or pulled muscles. So keep up the good work, fight a good. : keep training rules, and Kansas will heve a fighting baseball team that the students will be proud of. It will be typically a college team with no charging out at the umpires But our charge will be at the oposition. Let's show them what real “esprit de corps" and determination can do for a team that has been Qus Hew shot to pieces, so bere? fast year's returning lettermen are gonoeraesy phere vitalized by @ group of young men who want to make their Unj and have a lot of fun playing the great national out door game of baseball.

We will have handball so you can work out in the handball court, either indoors or out, These various exercises should toughen you up enough so that your muscles will not go lame on you when you start to throw a baseball. Physical fitness is one of the first Lesses of a game competitor and we want you in shape. Starting Monday afternoon Red Dugan will be down in the dressing quarte ers to check out equipment for you. There will be no baseballs checked out, but there will be a record kept of the days that you fellows report and Red fuesn, Frank Bukaty and I will do all in our power to get you in shape. There will be a list of exercises on the bulletin board in the freshman dressing room for you to follow. We could go into longer detail but this is a start. Start early and be regular and be one of those baseball battlers who will put the outdoor game back on its feet with a decided bange Be a competitor and start training now.
