Spirit of Journalism Cages Hat and Corset Union Team

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Ed "the mad hatter" Wagenfeld made his first public appearance without his hat last Friday, when he led the Labor Fellows in a strenuous game of basketball against the Nieman Fellows.

The Nieman Fellows are a group of journalistic students who were enticed away from their typewriters long enough to go down to the Indoor Athletic Building and scoop the labor men by a score of 28 to 20. Starring for the Union men were Ray Frisch another mad hatter, and "Two Way Stretch" Pfeffer from the International Ladies' Garment Workers Union. The outstanding players for the journalists were "Scooper" Ethridge, former college star, and "Copy Boy" Day.

The Labor Follows brought in a ringer in the person of John G. Dunlop, one of their instructors, but the appointment of Mac McCormick, Nieman Fellow, was some compensation for the journalists.

The only comment of the hoopsters after the game was "Praise the Lord and pass the liniment."
