...lacrosse team was suffering from an identity crisis, Ince tried to look at the bright side. At a squad meeting before practice, Gary Leahey had just spoken rather unenthusiastically about the team's deficient attitude. Ince then got up and said he didn't think things were all that bad and that everyone shouldn't get down. He didn't say it with great eloquence, and Leahey's point of view certainly mad more sense, but hearing Ince speak as he did was somehow impressive.

Although he lettered he seemed destined for a reserve role this spring as well, but when sophomore six-man Chris Nielsen reinjured a bad wrist, Kawakami moved in at both number six singles and second doubles, where he paired with sophomore Bill Washauer...
...corny white society bands off the stand, these men were half-gods in the eyes of their brothers. The jazzman is still respected on the back streets of New Orleans. "Take me," George would say. "Now I always been a little man. But I don't care how bad the neighborhood is--when you walk down the street with a musical instrument in your hand, peoples treat you with respect. Nobody bother a musician." He paused. "At least, no colored man bother a musician." He nodded emphatically...
