Basting . . . Sports After the basic pattern has been cut, it takes something to hold it together: and so basting comes into the progression. Basting is the first addition to hold the garment together—if just in a loose way. Similarly, sports is the first thing to come along in a student's career to bind him together with the rest of his fellow workers. True, it's a rather loose connection, but it's the first thing that joins the rambling ends of the student, and makes him just a little more finished.

Football The opening game of the season found the Indians not quite prepared. Making their first appearance under their new coach, Jerry Sullivan, the grid-ders went down to defeat on a very wet Marshall field. 13-0. Fumbles led to both Cardinal scores. In their first home game, the Purple and White showed improvement but Central's Tom McNamee Co. were too much for them. Scoring twice in the first quarter and once in the final period, the Pioneers won. 20-0. Captain Stav Canakes fine tackle play stood out even in defeat. The following week, the Southwest eleven lost its third straight game to North. 30-0. Don Riley. Polar speed merchant, punctured our defenses again and again for consistent gams. Center Winnie Johnson s tenacious defensive play was outstanding. Homecoming brought together Vocational and Southwest with the Indians gaining their only victory of the year in a thrilling game. After outplaying the Volts throughout the contest. Southwest scored the only touchdown of the game in the last minute on a short pass from Jack Witta to John Ederer. Both alumni and undergrads were justly proud of the 6-0 triumph. In the South tilt, the Indians outgamed and outplayed the highly-touted Tigers but were the victims of bad breaks. South won I 3-6.
