Eegardless of inclement weather that might follow, the first day of spring was ushered onto the campus Monday with all fanfare befitting a spring day. Civil­ ian students wore light coats and there were occasional "sweater" boys stroll­ ing around taking advantage of the sun­ shine.

W hat the unpredictable Indiana "weather man has cooked up for the re­ mainder of the month is still a matter of question. Until spring was heralded in, the campus had experienced two •weeks of cold weather, but March 20 marked a change.

Notre Dame's campus, often called one of the most beautiful in the country, always blossoms forth in the spring­ time. Old students and faculty members are looking forward to walks around the lakes and long awaited is the day when the magnolia trees below the Golden Dome burst forth in their pink finery. For those who wonder why spring was ushered in one day early this year—^the answer is Leap Year. The calendar, aside from giving bashful maidens a chance to catch their man, played havoc with those Avho were planning on March 21 for the season's appearance.

There is a 1935 football, too. A mem­ ory to Wayne Millner, Bill Shakespeare, Wally Fromhart, Andy Pilney, Mike Layden, and the host of others who made the final score read: Notre Dame, 18; Ohio State, 13.

Of Notre Dame, with the score 13-12, missing the kick, and then com­ ing back to steal the game with another score upon those who supposedly were invincible. It is the story of injured Andy Pilney playing the game of his life; of Bill Shakespeare pitching that last' second pass to Wayne Millner; of the second team boys in the line, led by center Pojman, in the dressing room aft­ er the game, singing "We're the first team now"; of the Notre Dame captain, Sullivan, who died before the season started. Then there is the shillelagh—^the tro­ phy fought for between Notre Dame and Northwestern. If you remember, in 1940 captain Milt (Moose) Piepul's squad lost to the Wildcats, but in 1941, largely due to the efforts of Juzwik, Bertelli, and Bolger, the Irish romped home, 7-6, and have kept the trophy since. Behind that 7-6 score is also the tale of how John Kovatch and Wally Ziemba plotted to block the Northwestern kick for the point—and succeeded. But that is a story Heisman Trophy Joins Illustrious Company for another day. 15 Irish Conclude Hoop Season With One Game Advantage; Revenge Lakes Loss Notre Da

Much to their dissatisfaction, Loren Ellis' group of hoopsters didn't live up to pre-game writeups and fell 14 points short of vic­ tory in a 57-44 Irish triumph. Despite the height employed hy the Valpo boys, they were unable to cope with the ag­ gressiveness and speed of the locals. Playing part of the double bill at Mil­ waukee, Marquette was able to get "sweet revenge" 60-43. DePaul Pre- Flight was billed for the next encounter but in their stead, Bunker Hill Naval Station filled out only to their regret as the Fighting Irish hung up victory number seven, 65-55. Consecutive losses occurred when De- Paul' and Great Lakes handed double duty defeat to the Krausemen, 61-45 and 84-48 respectively. The Tars from "the Lakes" added insult to injury by running up their overwhelming margin, but little did they know what was in store in the Irish's "future reference record."

It bears no relationship to the others but was intended by Father Sorin to be the base of a carillon of 63 bells which he never completed. The bourdon is only 55 feet off the ground; consequently, one does not get the full beauty of its tone nor the range of its power. It requires four men to ring it.

MEN OF SCIENCE (First of a Series)* The hero of this saga is the late Hor­ ace Ulysses Krum, at one time a phy­ sics instructor at Notre Dame. Horace was an insignificant squirt, with little or nothing on the ball. He had been tagged as "the worm that «p tal?e ^*= never turned," and rightly so, for he had all the energy of a constipated tur­ tle, and if turning of any sort required intelligence, energy or ambition, it was not in Horace's line. Students took a fiendish delight in perplexing Horace with such sticklers as, "If F equals MA, what does A equal?" and used to tie granny knots in his yo-yo string just because he looked so funny crying. Yes, to see Horace creep into his class in the morning, furtively sniping a butt, was to give him up for lost — for Horace's time was to come. . . . One Saturday night, Horace—as was his custom—^\vas in the Electrical lab, busily discharging pith balls. He felt gay. Shoving pith balls around changed the pallid squirt into a different man. Abandoning himself to the mood, he whirled about the lab in a mad, exotic dance all his own, and then, suddenly gasped in pain and surprise—one of his bony knuckles had grazed a point on an arc lamp, and chipped off three carbon atoms. When they hit the floor (deck, I mean) they shattered completely, with a terrific explosion. They were the first atoms ever to be smashed, and Horace had the questionable distinction of be­ ing smashed with them. Thus Horace U. Krum made the su­ preme sacrifice. ... On quiet Saturday evenings, one may still hear ghostly fin­ gers squeezing the charge out. of pith balls in the E. lab, and if one looks BELL TELEPHONE SYSTEM closely enough, the little bits that were Horace may be seen here and there on the ceiling.
