Alumni Day. and the Villa- nova-Bucknell fray! Gentlemen, here is a splendid opportunity to see some of those old classmates once again, and. in addition, a chance to see the greatest ball game on the schedule, a rip-snorting fight, played this year for the first time in the history of both schools, right here on the home Jot. bh ee “Reserved for Alumni” And the boys will see that Bucknell battle from an ALUMNI section of the stands, with seats between the forty-five and fifty-yard lines, where it has to be “first come, first served.” The alumni can have the park this day, but if they do not want to stand, and: want seats next to Joe Blutz or John’ Bananas, they’ll have to make RESERVATIONS. We should have about a thousand alumni here at this game, and there are only twelve thousand seats in the place. That the game is a sell-out goes without saying. fo “Scranton Day” Judging from the number of Scran- ton men who have signified intention of being in on the celebration, it would seem that the boys from up Coal-Cracker way have determined to make the 14th “Scranton Day” at Alma Mater. “Chuck” Cummings and McCann, McHugh, Me- Ginty, and Conaboy, Joe Connell, the O’Donnells, both senior and junior, all will be here. And Stanley Coar and Joe Rafter. We haven’t reached them, but let’s see them stay away! : A bang-up game witnessed from seats among a lot of fine fellows is the platter served up to the alumni on‘the 14th. Harry Stuhldreher’s squad this year is one of the best ever, with three of the sweetest little complete - backfields that the old school has seen in a long time. Bison skin should be found shredded all over the lot when that final whistle blows. . Spontaneous Oratory -And after the game—a meeting. Not one of those dead, tiresome affairs (they never are at Villanova), but the spirited, fast-moving annual meeting of the Alumni Association. Election of officers will be in order, with not too much op- portunity for amateur talent in oratory. And final adoption of a Constitution which the Board of Governors has wran- gled over in a very good-natured way for a year, and a brief, a very brief, re- _ port by the Secretary.’ ant. ~ five dollar joss qireher, tt ent of au aL Wagnel i See Villanova And don’t leave the ladies at home. That good wife ‘deserves a. treat; that girl-friend wants to see the Blue and White. Introduce them around at the game.: Immediately after, the college will take them in small groups for a tour of your old school, up into the buildings, around and through them, over the campus; turning them back to you at the stroke of six, all in good order, ready for a big evening ahead. -That evening get. another couple and- - make a foursome; or three or four cou- ples and make a party. Or a nice, quiet evening with just two—that’s possible, too. : But Folks, RESERVATIONS. Make them NOW...
