Loyola Students Return From Rice In Happy Frame of Mind Thrilled with the knowledge that they possesed a fighting team, and recalling the most pleasant memories, more than 500 Loyola supporters returned last Sunday morning from the greatest trip in Loyola's history. It wasn't the longest, nor yet the most elaborate, but it was marked by such camaraderie and good fellowship, that it takes its place at the head of the list. Many were the comments of pleasure that were heard as the Loyola Special pulled into the Union Station, at 10:00 Sunday morning, and the tired but happy fans proceeded to wend their way to taxis and trolleys for the final lap in their journey to their homes. Friends and relatives who gathered at the station to meet the homecomers were greeted with tales of the innumerable humorous and pleasant incidents that go to make up life on a football special. In every instance the narrative wound up with a breathless description of the last half of the football game which was the "raison d'etre" for the trip, and a tribute to the "fighting Wolves." Stories of the band's splendid appearance at the game had preceded them and as the musicians, led by John Connolly, Hamil Cupero and Charley Mary, disembarked congratulations were showered upon them. Others came in for their share of praise as well: Bill McHardy and A. P. Schiro, 111, who had led cheers until their voices were worn to a whisper, were met with outstretched hands; behind the cheerleaders came the Elected Line Captain (Courtesy of the Times-Picayune) Lei Smith, senior on the Loyola football squad, and first-string guard since his sophomore year, was elected captain of the Loyola line for the entire season.

Then, with a blare of | trumpets, the roll of drums, the 1 purr of policemen's motorcycles, | and the excited shouts of 300 students (all in highly exuberent spirits), the parade is on. Up Main Street they march, trombones, tubas and saxophones reflecting the sun's rays in a thousand sparkling twinkles, blaring forth the stirring strains of a military march. From the sidewalks, hurrying throngs pause in their daily routine to witness the finest specimen of marching and music playing ever displayed in Houston by one college aggregation.Houston—Rice Stadium — that Saturday afternoon ! !
