Band Will Perform in Full Uniform for Today's Game

When the University Band performs at the Bates game this afternoon, it will appear in full uniform at the opening game for the first time in many years. Ordinarily the blazers are not worn until later in the season.

With about 50 Yardlings aspiring for positions, the largest Freshman turnout in history, and with a much enlarged flute section, Manager Robert M. Pecbles '40, promised the best band musically for many seasons.

Contrary to usual practice, the band will perform both before the game, and during the whole period of the half, inasmuch as Bates is not bringing a band.

Cheerleaders for the year are Eugene V. Clark '39, George W. Dana '39, Sherman Gray '40, James D. Lightbody '39, Charles D. Lutz, Jr. '39, and Homer d. Peabody, Jr. '41.
