Kansas and Missouri Smash Line Together In "Game" Over There
"Buck" Writes of Plunging Through Hun to a
Goal
A letter from the front from a former football man of the University, D. L. Buckles, was received by W. P. Squier and tells how line plunging and making a goal feels in the great game Somewhere in France. The letter reads:
Somewhere in France, Oct. 7, 1918.
You have no doubt, read what the Kansas and Missouri boys did to the German line. Talk about football, it is a tame game compared to the one in which we have participated during the past few weeks.
Dear Old Friend: Your letter of August 26 just received. It certainly carried me back to old Mt. Oread, and was so full of the latest that I passed it on to Kenneth Keck, D. K. Pringle, al. K. U. boys.
I used to think that it took lots of nerve to race down the field past men who were waiting to knock you off your feet, but it's play compared to breaking through a barrage of high explosives and shrapnel shells. I remember my first line plunge—made the goal—a shallow valley, in about ten flat, although it seemed more like ten hours. In fact, I fairly ran out from under my helmet. The one I picked up had two holes in it.
It was a great experience, and if I attempted to tell you about it, I would take all morning. I expect to be in Lawrence, a few days before going to my home, which is now in Great Falls, Mont., and will be able to talk you to death then.
I have a bunch of souvenirs, which I hops to be able to bring home with me. I have one pin, an iron cross, a solid bar of gold that I have offered $100 for. A friend got it in a German officers' dugout. Well I must close. Give my regards to all former Hill friends.
As ever, Buck.
