YARDS PILE UP as Doug Freed, quarterback, scrambled, passed and handed off for 324 yards against Northern lllinois. The Cardinals outhustled the Huskies on both offense and defense. ' l- ' N313 ,X X The '20s come back Gangsters, gun molls and goldfish eaters toasted a homecoming of red jerseys and Red Skelton OLORS--from the gold of the goldfish- eating contest to the red of Red Skelton--made up the Toasting the '2Os theme of Homecoming 1981. Green grass and changing leaves were the setting for Sunday's A Day in the Park. The Stu- dent Center Governing Board sponsored the day-long event. Allen Rhodes, Jeff McNabb and The Spence Brothers filled the Quad with music while students participated in the Croquet trournament, threw frisbees and ate picnic lunches. A multi-colored hot air balloon lifted off from LaFollette Field Monday afternoon to officially begin the week of colorful costumes, colorful events and colorful personalities. That evening the kickoff games pitted rival residence halls against one another in University Gym. ln keeping with the Toasting the '20s theme the events were the Bonnie and Clyde Waltz, Gangster Getaway, Flapper Marathon and the Speakeasy Sprint. Red and blue beds blurred down McKinley Avenue Tuesday for the homecoming bed race. The cool weather did not stop the spectators from coming out to watch their teams navigate the 100 yard course. 16 Homecoming Teams dressed as flappers and gangsters pushed and pulled their way to the finish line. Clevenger, for the second year in a row, won the men's division by defeating Delta Tau Delta. Woody Hall took the women's championship by out-hustling Sigma Sigma Sigma, the second place team. Pole sitting, a popular fad in the Roaring '20s, was brought back for homecoming week. Participants took turns sitting atop a pole near the Scramble Light throughout the week. The oranges, blues and greens of fireworks highlighted Wednesday night's pep rally and bonfire. Another attempt to become part of the Guinness Book of World Records failed. After lap sitting and jumping for it successfully in past years, the attempt at the world's longest Conga line fell about 5,000 persons short of the 8,128 persons needed for the record. Participants practic- ed the conga in hope of drawing more peo- ple, but students seemed to be Guinness- ed out-H trowimtisii THIS PACKARD TWELVE carries a truly colorful personality--Red. Skelton performed two sell-out shows for his Muncie fans.
