Top Secret? Editor: For the past year or so I have been carrying on a correspondencs vdth two or three representatives of other univer­ sities to the NFCC3. They were not too surprised when I told them that the Notre Dame student body knows little or nothing about the work of the NFCCS and that many do not even know what the organization is. They wrote of how the Notre Dame represen­ tatives are very nice fellows and that as far as the social ends of the conven­ tions are concerned, they are right at the top. However, they went on to say that newest idea in sport shirts! the ND representatives do little, if any­ thing at all, toward contributing toward the business aspect of the meetings. No Van Trix constructive criticism, no comments, no ideas, no nothing! Something really new ... really different in the sports world—Van Trix!

But the professor viewed the contest from a different viewpoint than did the typical ND fan. The game was the second he had ever witnessed, the other being the 28-27 win over Purdue last season. Professor Denissoff taught philosophy until a year and a half ago at one of Europe's leading Catholic universities,' the University of Louvain in Belgium. Then, since he had travelled extensively but never crossed the Atlantic, he de­ cided he'd like "a little bit of experience in America." At the game the professor admits his chief source of information on what plays were being run by whom and for what were his "neighbors." But lack of knowledge of the game in no way hampered his enthusiasm. One par­ ticular aspect that interested him was Notre Dame's new Student Council officers are, L to R.: Russ Skall, treasurer, the contrast between the European and Bill Kirchner, president, Dave Mathews, vice-president, and Bill Anhut, secretary.

They were human heads, with lips and eyelids crudely sewn together and brown colored with age. Each head was adorned with red native beads and one of the "fellas," as Henry calls them, has a "ci-ew cut." The story of head hunting and shrink­ ing is very fascinating to the uniniti­ ated. Whenever a member of a foreign tribe insults a Jivaro, the offense is quickly reported to the Jivaro chief. The chief's job is then to hunt up a member of the offending tribe, kill him, preferably with a poisoned dart, and then lop off his head.

How Heads Are Shrunken In his village the chief proceeds to take the "innards" out of the head, leaving a sack of flesh. The flesh is sewn together except for an opening at the neck.

Many years ago Trombones — they were then called Sackbuts, a silly mistake that I never would have made — were used to play for Kings and Queens. At this period the social status of the performers was so high that some artists would not appear unless there was a pair of Jacks or better in the audience. Trombones, or rather, Sackbuts — we might as well go along — used to play fanfares, chor­ ales, suites, and in general, much the same sort of thing played by Trom­ bones today, except , that Dixieland hadn't been invented. Thus the Sack- but passed away without ever being played out over the back of a truck. In fact, when the Classical period of music set in, nobody much played the Sackbut anywhere. They weren't writ­ ing any music for it. Some critics have ventured the opinion that this was because of the mixup in names. Many composers wanted to write music for the Trombone, but there weren't any. Sackbuts were old hat, so nobody both­ ered with them.

By FRANK RONNENBERG

Purdue, a team that has played tre­ mendous football against Notre Dame the last two years, makes another all- out effort to break the Irish unbeaten string at Eoss-Ade Stadium tomorrow. The Eoilermakers have already lost two contests, one to Northwestern, 20-6, and the other to Iowa last week, 21-7. As a result, they are given little chance to surprise the crowd of some 52,000 people by halting high-pov.'^ered ND. In past games, Purdue has won but five times from the Irish while losing 11 and tying one.

The two freshmen are Ray Smith and^ Terry Kiely, both Illinois boys. Smith, a Chicagoan from 261 Zahm Hall, earned his spot in the bracket finals by out­ classing Bob Hensler, a South Bender who won the 1947 tourney. The scores were 3-6, 6-0 and 6-3. He then breezed past top-seeded Matt Tuite, last year's winner, in a best three-out-of-five, affair, 6-2, 6-3, 6-4. The championship match will probably have Smith against the \vinner of the^ Tom Overholser-Kiely meeting.
