Yes sir, just a couple days of sunshine shouldn't be too much to wish for but right now I'm wonder- ing if there is such a thing as old Sol. Coach Kaiser hasen't been able to have one real, honest-to-good- ness thorough workout with his track team yet and unless the weather breaks later this week, the team will undoubtedly check out soon. Since there isn't much going on in the local scene, the only thing to do is to shift to the national scent and see what's happening. The National Marbles Champion- ship is being held in Louisville about now I suppose but as I have nothing definite on that exciting tournament I can't say anything about it. How about the college • pocket billiards championship at Boston ? That should be interesting but there's nothing definite on that either. And surely there must be some kind of a ping pong tournament someplace. They'd really make some interesting articles for Major ffs/haty Adams, Adam :fa' the sports page.
