Tank Team
Loses 55 - 29
To Fla. State
The sophomore-laden swim
ming team dropped a 55-29
verdict to Florida State Fri
day night.
The Cadets took three firsts
against the Seminoles. The Flox-ida
club last year boasted a sti’ongly
balanced team, as they dropped
only two of seven coxxtests.
It was the fix - st dual meet of
the year for the Maroon and
White. “The boys did a terrific
job last Friday against Florida,
even though they did get beat,”
said Coach Adamson.
Sophomore Dick Weick took
honor's for the Cadets, as he was
the only double winner - . Dick won
the individual medley with a time
only one-half of a second over
the pool record—1-62:7. His other-
first was in the 200 yard breast
stroke with a time of 2:39.6.
The other first gained by the
Maroon and White was in the free
style relay. John Spiech, Jimmy
Burns, Lee Pipping, and Burt Kor-
gel swam the distance in 3:49.6.
Adamson had nothing but praise
for his team, as each man on the
squad cut from two to six seconds
off his time.

J. Paul Shcedy* Switched to Wildroot Cream-Oil
Because He Flunked The Finger-Nail Test
"HURRMPH"! trumpeted Sheedy, "What a elephant time to
have my hair act up. Might as well break my date and get
trunk!” Luckily he was overheard by a Pachydermitologist who
said, "Tusk, tusk! You’ve got a messy big top from pouring
those buckets of water on your head. Get out of your ivory tower
and visit any toilet goods counter for a bottle or tube of Wildroot
Cream-Oil, "Your Hair’s Best Friend”. Non-alcoholic. Contains
soothing Lanolin. Relieves dryness. Removes loose, ugly dan
druff. Helps you pass the Finger-Nail Test.” Paul got Wildroot
Cream-Oil, and now all the girls tent to him more than ever. So
why don’t you try Wildroot Cream-Oil? It only costs peanuts
—29jG And once you try it, you’ll really have a circus.
