One for the Books-Win, atts 103, Fair Weather WHAT is so rare . . . applied perfectly to Homecoming '69 as everything fell into the winning bracket with WU's first football victory in five years of barren losses at the tra- ditional gridiron-reunion event. An intercepted pass in the last two minutes of play put the score at 24-21 and the stands went wild. The Watts l03rd Street Rhythm Band drew more than 1,000 on Friday night and a capacity crowd of 1,500 danced with the Kopi Katz at the Union on Satur- day. The traditional reunions, float competition, candlelight drive, and open houses were colorful and well attended cele- brations. The Phi Delt-DG-TKE trio won the float trophy while Kate Rooney wore the Homecoming crown and Mar- garet Waddell and Tom Quinn reigned as Hobo Royalty. V , . . i M ,Q V I wtf' 1.9, .
