got up in the morning?” Here was the point, Arch. Warehouse men, we’ve discovered, are addicted to song. As they held business sessions in the day tinie, song was reserved for night. Well, Arch, they sang “Sweet Adeline.” Now from locker room experience, while the ladies wait until they finally telephone the locker rooms they’ll go right home without dinner unless the crowd books up, you know how much stimulus and time is required to arrive at the “Sweet Adeline stage which has been preceded by “Happy Days,” “A Long Long Trail,” your Notre Dame Victory song, “On Wisconsin” and all the. old reliables. That was what Johnny referred to because he thought maybe our boys didn’t sleep well, and maybe they didn’t. Anyway, the warehouse boys were a nice bunch from all the central states and a whole lot from Chicago. I think you know Floyd Bateman from Wilmette, and Joe Cocoran and George Andlerson from Evanston. (Continued on Last Page)
