THE BAND AT V. M. I.
(By George Chinn in the Kentucky Advocate
Believe it or Not)
"Well, the gates flew open and in came something that they really
have a right to be proud of, and that is the Band. That outfit can take
a breath of fresh air and get more out of it than
an old maid can a love letter. And when it comes

to give away. They let us have "My Old Ken- 1
tucky Home" in assorted flavors and anyone of
them was good enough for a second helping. I
suppose a lot of credit for the band ought to go
to the fellow out in front that was dressed up like

Sponsor. One look at that gal did more to con-vlnme that Kentucky was progressive than all
the automobile license plates I've read to date.
And I have a sneaking suspicion that the smart

boys at the University of Kentucky come out for
the band. Outside of singing "Sweet Adeline" on various New Year's
nights, I have never shown any natural ability in the music line, but I am
here to state that as long as she was the Sponsor, and they gave me a
place to march up in front, that somebody would about catch me thumping out a right passable tune on an Italian lute. Yes sir, they had a real
band and all the trimmings that goes with it."

SHIPWRECK KELLY
The elastic imagination of Frank K. Hoover was responsible for the
origin of the "Shipwreck" addition to the name of John Sims Kelly. With jj
the growing recognition of Kelly as one of the leading sophomore backs
in the United States, it is interesting to note that the nickname is one of
the most picturesque held by any grid star of national prominence.
The cognomen has no direct relation to the
adventures of
