The weather certainly didn’t make one think of spring. Downtown Greencastle reminded us more of the Christmas shopping season than th ■ last of March. It is spring though the calendar says so oh yeah!! We were out to the Conservation Club gun shoot Sunday and we likito froze to death. The wind penetrated our clothes and even a fii didn’t Help. Incidentally only a few haidy nimrods were present for the oceassion, hut we stayed on until nearly dark just to help swell the meager ttwong of sportsmen. We found out that the hoys over at Brazil were having a shoot and there was also one at Clayton, so this hud some hearing on tin local situation. DePauw planned to open the 1942 diamond season last Thursday, hid as you will probably remember, old , man J. Pluvius cut loose witli a rain that later developed into a brisk but brief blizzard. Consequently, the tilts scheduled with Indiana University have been re-carded for later on. Saturday the Tiger sluggers will start a 5-game invasion of Kentucky during the school’s spring vacation. Ah yes, Kentucky the Blue Grass state the land of fast horses, beautiful women, and good whiskey. Of course, the DePauw boys will have their minds on baseball while they ate gone we hope! Which reminds us, by the way, that it won’t he long until the Kentucky Derby. The middle of April will find the big league clubs swinging into action. and then it won’t he any time until summer those long, sunny days when you complain about the
heat.
The poet says, “In the spring i young rtlan’s fancy lightly turns to 1 thoughts of love.” Coulfi he! But. on the other hand we know a great many young men who are thinking about fishing tackle, about the war. about polities, about employment, et ceteria. et ceteria. What are you thinking about’.'? For three yeats. we had the pleasure of watching the New Yoik Yankees and the St. Louis Cardinals in spring training at St. Petersburg, Florida. We became acquainted with several of these professional ball play rs. In this group we include Bill Dickey. Yank catcher and one of the best backstops in the game today; Red Rolfe, Yankee third seeker; “Babe” Dahlgren, "Bump” Hadley. and George Pipgrass. former Yank pitcher, now an umpire in th ■ “big time” circuit. In fact. George gave Vjf the first venison we ever at". He went deer hunting in the north part of Florida and brought hack the proof. We were out at the dog track one night with Bill Dickey and watched the greyhounds run. Can't ! remember of any one in our crow I 1 collecting on any bets, so we still say we just watched. Tomorrow is the first of April. Don’t let anybody pull a fust one on you. “April fool" and all that sort of thing.
