Mice and Men • In Amarillo, Texas, a prison guard discovered a beetle crawling toward a solitary confinement cell. On its back were tied a cigarette and a match. Investigation showed that the prisoner had been receiving cigarettes in this manner for some time.

It doesn't take long for ideas like this to catch on. Over in Lyons sub the boys are training little titmice for their own purposes. They have the little animals trained to haul some pretty heavy stuff and just for exper­ iment tried them out on a can full of water. The mice came through in great style. The next step is to in­ troduce the mice down at Matt's. They will be kept there in a cage and when a phone call comes in from one of the boys a can of water or some­ thing can be tied on their backs and they'll trot up to Lyons. In this way the boys won't be inconvenienced if they shouldn't feel well — or some­ thing.

The sabre tournament was success­ fully coralled by Michelson who won all his four bouts. Finishing second was Garrity with a total of two vic­ tories and two losses, while Reynolds placed third, winning one bout and losing three. Before the foil tourney could be decided, two preliminary round-robin poules were engaged in by all of the fencers. In Poule I, Michelson won four and lost none. Boss won three and lost one; Schoo won two and lost two; Merdsinski won one and lost three; and Ronder brought up the rear guard. In Poule II, Schlafly swept his four bouts; Gaither and O'Donnell split their four matches two and two; and McNamee and Cor- bett won one apiece out of four. The finals brought all the stylists together in a battle of thrusts and parrys, which pleased Coach de Lan- dero no end' as the fur was flying thick and fast. Gaither and Schlafly finished in a dead-heat each getting four for five which is a winning aver­ age in any sport. But in points Gaither managed to edge out Schlafly by the margin of one single digit. Boss finished in the money with three victories and two defeats, with Mi­ chelson gaining fourth, by winning two out of five. Schoo and O'Donnell finished in a tie for fifth at one one victory and four losses apiece.

Nineteen SWORDSMEN WIND UP SUCCESSFUL YEAR

Sabre man succeeded sabre man last week, as the lettermen of the Notre Dame fencing squad unani­ mously named Salvatore Paxil Scar- lata. Science junior, of Lodi, New Jersey, to take over the post just vacated by Jack Zerbst as captain of the Irish swordsmen. The election took place at the annual banquet ten­ dered the fencing squad by the Uni­ versity Athletic Association a week ago last evening in the dining halls. Scarlata is no sti'anger to fencing fans hereabouts. He first attracted attention last year when he took part in his first varsity competition as a member of Coach Pedro de Landero's sabre unit. Professor de Landero must have smiled a pretty satisfied smile as he returned from St. Louis a week ago last Sunday with his fencing team, stabbing out a victory over Washington University. The night before not only marked the completion of the fifth year of fencing as a recognized sport at Notre Dame but it was also the sixth straight win for the Blue and Gold swordsmen this year, and the seventh victory in nine starts. The duelists, headed by Captain Jack Zerbst, opened their season by losing to a strong Purdue aggrega­ tion, by a score of 15-12. They came back in their next meet, however, to take over Detroit, 12%-4y3. The second and last defeat of the season came a week later at the hands of Chicago, known for its great teams. Then came the first victory in a string that was to extend doivn through the last meet of the season. First to fall before the Irish blades was Ohio State, followed by Lawrence Tech, which could gamer only & points to 12 for the Irish. Coach de Landero's charges gained revenge in the next battle as Purdue came out on the short end of a 17-10 score. From then on, Notre Dame didn't experi­ av*° ence too much trouble, taking in suc­ 1 cession, Wisconsin (14%-12%), Cin­ cinnati (12-5), and Washington (13- is 6). ^t\^^^'\,tte^^r..ee^ Heaviest losses for the squad will occur in the ranks of the foilmen, when Vic Mercado and Pierre de la Vergne will leave to take their sheep­ skins in June. The sabremen, al­ though they lose only one man, will have a huge gap when Captain Jack Zerbst graduates this year. Eeturn- ing sabremen are: Captain-elect Sal Scarlata, Johnny Gavan; in the epee Coach de Landero will have: Charlie Colgan, Jim Graham, Harold Guerin, and Al McEneamey; veterans in the foils will be Joe Leising and Bob Sayia.

They allowed their embarrassed president to inform them that their Easter dance would be held in the Grand Ballroom of the Knick­ erbocker Hotel on April 18. Jack Russel and his orchestra will supply the music, and the "Four Night- hawks," a quartette, will fill in at the intermissions. President Buckley also announced plans for a baseball team, the spring golf tournament, and the annual elections. These three events will receive consideration, though the speakers will probably be not so for­ tunate, at future meetings.

This husky blond senior who fashions base hits out of buttons, has majored in Business Administration.
