TWIRLER, ACCOUNTANT TOO:
Dick Smith Takes the Field

AM', OSU Bands To Take;
Field at Half-time Today

t7

* * * -

By GAYLE GREENE
Although it wasn't intentionally
Y planned that way the highstepp-
ing drum major who will lead the
band on to the football field to-
day, is maize and blue from top
to toe.
In keeping with the spirit of his
snappy maize breeches, dark blue
tails and leather leggings (to rep-
resent boots but much more com-
fortable),are Dick Smith's bright
blue eyes, slicked back blond hair
and the occasional blue tinge
which colors his lips on an es-
pecially cold afternoon.
"THIS IS Shakel white rabbit
fur-genuine," he explained point-
ing to the tall hat fastened with
a strap under his chin. "And I
suppose you'd call this a musical
'M' " he added, indicating the sat-
in letter on his navy blue felt
breastplate. "I don't know what
a musical 'M' is like, but it sounds
good," he explained.
"My uniform is almost all wool
and it keeps me pretty warm,"
the junior from Werton, West
Virginia said, shivering. "I'm
not cold at all, at least, not
when I'm on the field."
"Besides, I'm used to trotting
around a football field on cold
days. I was a twirler here for a
year before I became drum major
two years ago and I did the same
thing back home at Werton High."
"AS FAR AS I'm concerned
there could never be anything like
'too much football' or 'too much
band', Smith said emphatically.
"I guess I get as big a kick out
of bands and football as anyone
;could," he added.
"Speaking of football, I'm al-
most as much in training as one
of the team. I don't Grmm or
smoke and on the night before
the game I go to bed early. Then
of course I rehearse an hour and
a half with the band and for
about two hours by myself over
at Ferry Field."
"It's funny how when you line
up right before you go on the field,
you forget about the people. I
think to myself 'Let's do a good
job, and give it everything." As
for after he graduates Smith says:
"Well, I suppose I'll spend a cou-
ple of years in the service, I'm in
the Air Force ROTC here. I'd
kind of like to be in an army
band," he admitted. Then I'll do
'some kind of accounting.

HE MAY BE Dick Smith, drum
'major, on the field every Saturday,
but he's not Dick Smith, drum
major, around the house every
day, according to his fraternity
brothers at the Kappa Sigma
house.
"He doesn't have too many
peculiarities, one of the men
said. "At least he doesn't sleep
with his shoes on, if that's what

A long standing rivalry between
the Michigan and Ohio State
marching bands will come to the
fore when each group takes the
field at the Michigan-Ohio State
football fray today.
Today's exhibition will be the
first in which two bands have been

One thing did impress the De-
troiter: the fishermen of the Mis-
sissippi region take great pride in
the number of human bodies they
have fished out of the river.
The explanation: County coron-
ers pay from $10 to $15 per body-
stimulating a lucrative trade.
Finally, the heavy-set Brown
disclosed that the next edition of
Collier's magazine will be coming
out with a report, with pictures,
on the raft adventure.

versity in February to resume his

with Michigan

Representative music from some
of the well-known Broadway pro-
ductions will be the basis of Michi-
gan's half-time pageant "Show
Boat," according to William D.
Revelli, conductor.
After the Ohio State band leaves
the field, Michigan will open their
half of the display with "There's
No Business Like Show Business."
Following this the band will form
a steamboat and "float" down the
field to the strains of Jerome
Kern's "Old Man River."
A bow and arrow will then be
formed to the tune of "Waitin'
for the Robert E. Lee." As the
band breaks into "Indian Love
Call" the arrow will be pulled back
and shot down the field, only to
reverse itself, move back up the
field, and pierce a heart.
Next the band will convert to a
gigantic soldier, covering the en-
tire width of the field, and parade
to a rendition of "This Is The Ar-
my, Mr. Jones.".
After a snappy about-face the
band will give its impression of
Cole Porter's 'Begin the Beguine"
while dancing its way up the field.
Climaxing the band's last per-
formance of the season will be a
colorful company drill to the ac-
companiment of "Varsity."
The band's pre-game perform-
ance will include "The Victors," a
salute to Ohio State with "Buck-
eye Battle Cry," "Colossus of Co-
lumbia" and "The Star Spangled
Banner."

ested students and members of
faculty and administration to iron

Student-faculty relations was
chosen as the topic by the.literary

you mean. He keeps regular
study hours, doesn't goof-off
and sometimes eats crackers and
cheese before he goes to bed--
but then a lot of people do."
Although Smith seemed hesitant
about discussing his accomplish-
ments, Prof. William D. Revelli
director of the Marching Band
was less reticent.
"Dick may not have told you
this," he said yesterday, "but, be-
sides leading the band, he twirls,
assists in conducting and leading
drills and also plays clarinet in
the Symphony orchestra."
"So many drum majors know
nothing at all about music. Dick,
however, because of his musical
knowledge can quickly spot in-
accuracies in performance and
rhythm as well as direct the for-
mation on the field," Prof. Re-
velli added.
"He has all the attributes of a
good drum major-poise, person-
ality and the kind of dignity that
earns the respect of his men,"
Prof. Revelli continued, "and in
my opinion, is one of the nation's
outstanding drum majors."

Arts Theatre
Continues Play
The Arts Theatre Club announ-
ced yesterday that three addition-
al performances of "The Knight of
the Burning Pestle" will be given
Wednesday, Friday and Saturday
of next week.
The arrangement has been made
to accommodate members and
guests who because of the crowd-
ed schedule would be unable to see
the Elizabethan satire. Members
who want to see repeat perform-
ances will also be accommodated
now, business manager Hy Ber-
man announced.
The lengthened run of the cur-
rent play will shove the opening
date of the next production, "Yes
Is for a Very Young Man," to Dec.
7. The Gertrude Stein play will
run through Dec. 21.

Lisle Fellows
Hold Mid-West
Annual Meet
Former Lisle Fellowship mem-
bers will have a chance to recap-
ture a summer "internship in
group living" experience at the an-
nual Midwest Seminar being held
kthis weekend at Benton Harbor,
L Informal seminars to discuss
how the summer of living and
working in an intercultural set-
ting has been applied to the stu-
dents' everyday living will be the
core of the meeting.
Notices have been sent to the
more than 300 Lislers in this area.
The reunion will also be open to
anyone interested in knowing
mnore about Lisle, according to
DeWitt C. Baldwin, director of
Lane Hall, and national Lisle di-
rector.
Lisle Fellowship, organized in
X936, is a unique educational ven-
ture functioning through indivi-
dual "world communities" of stu-
Oents who live cooperatively for a
period of six to nine weeks.
About 40 students of college age
differing in nationality, religion,
race and cultural background
form each unit, located in indus-
tiial, large population a r e a s
throughout this country and in
 iroshima, Japan.

"16 years ago, the regular PA
system announcer failed to show;
I was standing by my friend
Franklin C. Cappon, then a Michi-
gan coach, and he said, 'Ed, you're
it."
Speaking in the pleasant, auth-j
oritative voice that as many as
97,000 fans have heard announcing
plays on football Saturdays, Ed
Theurer explained the circum-
stances which paved the way for
his long-time job.
T H E U R E R (pronounced to
rhyme with Sawyer) was then an
avid sports fan, who had never
been in front of a mike but who
knew football. This football know-
how has helped him through some
80 games-the mike fright fled af-
ter the first season of his an-
nouncing career.
He received a B.S. degree from
the University in '24 and is now
assistant sales manager of the
DuPont automotive division.
Ann Arbor born and raised, he
sent both of his children to the
University.
Despite the infringement on his
weekend time, Theurer thoroughly
enjoys the hours spent in the box
on the second deck center of the
Press Box. "It's an extremely in-
teresting hobby," he explained.
"IN RADIO announcing, you can
make a mistake; no one is seeing
what's happening and they have
to rely on your word. I havb to be
right. There are some real football
experts in the stands," he pointed
out.
Theurer maintains this "right-
ness" with the aid of three as-
sistants. From his vantage point,
he watches the ball carrier while
an observer, his son Richard,
spots the tackles.
Two assistants on the field catch
penalties which they radio to the
earphone bedecked Theurer. This
eliminates confusion over the re-
ferees' signals. In turn, Theurer
radios the information to newsmen
outside his soundproofed room and
