Connecticut

RJ-iHis ISSUE will not contain the story of 1 Connecticut's State meeting as it occurs on too late a date to permit of its account. However, as no other news of any import has intervened since the May meanderings put in their appearance, I will set out what purports to be the highlights of the meeting.

I can accurately predict that over two hundred and fifty alumni from Connecticut will be present at the Waterbury Country Club on June ist, to partake of the festivities. (The date stated in last month's issue was said to be May 19th, but a change of plans since then resulted in a new date.) In the afternoon, a sizable array of hackers will cut large swaths on the golf course and the result will be prizes for the select few who are capable of withstanding the withering pace. Tired legs, weary arms and sundry blasphemies will be the lot of the less fortunate. -A team prize will be garnered by one of the Connecticut Clubs or the Hanover contingent and my money is on the latter entry especially if mouse traps, end arounds and KF79S can be employed. Probably with the fourteen club rule in effect only that number of Bridgeport men will be able to play this year.

After the pre-dinner elbowing has softened trouble waters, during which time the serious minded will hold a business meeting, consisting of officers of State and District Associations, all hands will apply themselves to the always gratifying task of stuffing. Dinner over, speaking engagements will be fulfilled. Dean Lloyd K. Neidlinger will give us something to remember him by in his initial Connecticut appearance. We thank him now for being with us and hope soon to see him again.

Football will share a major place with Earl Blaik and Harry Ellinger going out of their busy ways to sample Connecticut hospitality and lay the ground work for next year's invasion of the Bowl. They will conduct a blackboard session assisted by Captain Bob MacLeod and Center Bob Gibson, two of last year's and next year's mainstays.

To add a purely Connecticut note to the proceedings, a gift will be presented to Jack Conners 'l4, State Secretary of "the Connecticut Club for six years as a token of the esteem in which he is held by all Dartmouth men for excellent and efficient service and devotion to the best Dartmouth ideals.
