the annual victory banquet last night at which major, minor and “B” team letters and freshman numerals were awarded.

500 Join Celebration

Steve Hannagan, of New York, former Lafayette newspaper man, and now a national sports publicity figure, was principal speaker at the banquet, at which approximately. 500 persons joined to help celebrate a highly . successful season. . Other speakers included President E. C. Elliott and Athletic Director Noble E. Kizer. Dwight P. Baker, president of the local Kiwanis Club, sponsoring the banquet, was toastmaster. During the course of the evening, posthumous awards were given Carl Dahlbeck and Tommy McGannon, gric stars, who died from burns suffered in the pre-season fire, The audience stood in reverence while life-size photographs of both and of Clifford Baumbach, Indianapolis athlete, who died in 1935, were unveiled. These pictures eventually will hang in the new fieldhouse. Of the 30 major letter awards, 10 went to seniors who were outstanding performers on this year’s eleven. Minor letters were given 11 men, special “B” team awards to 20 additional members and 63 yearlings received numerals.

We should have licked Nebraska and Ohio State.” Gov. McNutt professed strong allegiance to the Cream and Crimson colors. “That is one.thing in whiclf I. just can’t be impartial” said the Governor. “I am a rabid unreconstructed Indiana fan. Really, I was more excited at Purdue's game than I was on election night, and the gentleman sitting beside Ie was President Elliott of Purue.” Brown's talk was a steady fire of dry humor which was warmly received. “I was certain before I came down here that the IndianaPurdue affair ended in a tie.” he said. “But after listening to these comments, I guess I have been misinformed.” -
