FOOTBALL PROSPECTS AT K.U. ? ?

We would like to
write a real encourag-
ing article about the
football prospects on
Mt. Oread for '45, but
I'm afraid we can't.
You see, Coach Henry
Shank has only three lettermen returning
and the Navy-V-12 program still going
on in Lawrenee isn't producing any All-
Anerica material or even anyone who has
Lettered elsewhere,

 

One of the three returning vets is
Leroy Rebinson of Lawrence, and Phi Psi.
Robbie will probably be the main show in
the backficld this year starting in the
fullback position,

With Oklahoma, Missouri and Iowa
Stats all bragging about twelve to scven-
tcen returning lettermen, poor old
Kansas will have to battle Nebraska and
Kansas State for the cellar position.
Well, anyway, we beat Nebraska last

year, didn*t we?
