Three of the University's athletic contingents will head south today and tomorrow in extensive spring trips. Leaving tomorrow afternoon will be a squad of 16 Varsity baseball players carefully chosen by Coach Floyd Stahley to take part in the team's annual Spring Vacation tour and play with five of the best college nines in the South...
...Aside from the fact that the look on Bud's face was funny as hell, a very serious question was brought up. Just what is the average leader going to do about the jitterbug? Benny Goodman recently wrote a long article proving that the jitterbugs caused his band to play as loudly as it does because they screamed so loudly the band couldn't be heard.
