The school is still H in the daze produced by Cantor's Hrst appearance here Ctwo weeks lateb. Cantor dropped his title of Earle about two days after he arrived, when he was given the nickname Eddie Since a nobleman must have some occupation after he has dropped his title, Eddie assumed the position of Coach of football, with Mr. Fellowes as his assistant. The only argument that arose against his having this office was that he did not let his assistant have anything to say concerning the coaching of the team, and as said assistant was being paid for his services, it was decided that Eddie should discontinue. Our hero did not let this worry him in the slightest, however, and he became a very good end on the team, often terrifying his opponents by the fierce gleam which crept into his eyes. After a little work, Eddie was able to get another position. This time with Dr. Ai1inger's quintet in basketball. He is still arguing with the referee at the time this book goes to press. Eddie will rest in peace at the University of Pittsburgh. E Football Squad, '28,' Barlzetball Squad, '28 lvl

Cann, fortunately, is usually in the vicinity and helps the latter out. Burrows is picked on in other ways also. After helping to found the Nichols Commercial Club, the members of which are familiarly known as the boys, he was elected President of this useful organiza- tion. After taking a glance at this corporations club rooms, we suggest that George go into interior decorating instead of College. Another achievement of Burrows which should be men- tioned is the very excellent program which he put out for the Minstrel Show. Besides producing the program, he produced the sensation of the shovv, when his suspenders suddenly gave vvay in mid-stage entirely without his permission. The walls of the Erlanget are still echoing with laughter. Another Freshman for the WhartonfiSchool. 3. f wa, V Q 3 ,f?fg'? -.

' BRUCE KEATOR CONGVER, JR. BORN: October 22, 1911 ENTERED: 1925 IT is a pity that Conover could not have lived in the days of Caesar, for then he could have fulfilled Julius' request, according to Bill S. Let me have men about me who are-. Fortunately for us, however, Bruce saw that there might be some in this generation who expressed the same desire, so he picked out time to live. Seriously, however, Bruce has been a big asset to the school during his sojourn here. He played a fine game as guard on the pigskin kickers' group and also has graced the baseball diamond for the last two Springs. Two other things about the lad on the left must not be forgotten, his ever-present willing- ness to beat somebody up-just mildly-and his 3, ' 'luu V . 4, love for singing. His sterling voice may be q 5? I heard three times a week for nothing in the Nichols Assembly Hall, folks, if you can 1 . A . iz hear it above the screech of the remaining singing aspirants. ' .,,.. He will augment the choir of Princeton.
