Among the many things Lou is fa­ mous for, his songs which, he ays, arc entirely inspired by the team and the general spirit of the school are the most popular. Song writing has been a hobby with Lou ever since he started writing them when he was at Colum­ bia. The following is a song that Lou himself sang to the tune of " lemen­ tinc" at a recent rally: On a hilltop, on a hilltop, Y~'i th its walls of clinging vine, Stand a college full of knowledge, Dear old Trinity of mine.

Go and meet them and defeat them, Roger Hall of forty-nine. e'er a backfield like that powerhouse With a bold, unflinching line. Roll them over in the clover In the fall of forty-nine.

When we interviewed Lou, he told us: "For me school does not end with each succeeding class. I consider the contact with the students a rich expe­ rience, and from it keep up to date on all the news of the campus. I have certainly learned a great deal from the students and profs for the price of a coke."

As far as the Tripod is concerned, we say by all means play Hillyer whenever po sible on our schedules. And that's a job for the schedule makers, who already have their hands full for baseball with our long-term commitments to schools such as Georgetown, Maryland, etc., which we meet on the annual Southern trip. So let's leave it up to them. They're paid for it.
