Band Leaders Knees DiSruptS Nevada Campus
BY NICK BOURNE Limited Press Staff Correspondentl

(Unbtcd Press starr COrreSpOnuentl
 Reno, Nev., Nov. 3-(UP) There was woe a foot deep on Univer- sity of Nevadas campus today, the football spirit was gene and revolt surged up like thunder in the stu dent body.
 The dean of women had low cred the curtain" on Elsie Crab trees knees.
 Without Elsle's knees flashing in the sunlight or standing out, like ripe peaches, in a drizzling snow, the wolf pack eleven of ole Nev- ada is helpless. the students said, a sciritless dejected crew-without hopc and, most important, without supporters
 But the dean of women, Miss Mar garet Mack, lowered the curtain on Elsies knees. Chief majorette of the Wolf Pack band, Elsie is pe- tite, blonde, vivacious. And Elsies knees! One sophomore said, they are dimpled darlings, white as the snow atop Kumiva Peak
 Six times this fall, Elsie has pranced before the Nevada stands twirling her baton, turning cart wheels, doing splits and otherwise showing the talent of her knees, as well as their beauty--and she just about took all eyes off the football team. That was well enough, be- cause the Wolf Pack lost four times.
 Shedding!
 Miss Mack, who is midle-aged and does not attend football games got her first glimpse of Elsie IF white satin shorts, breathlessly shorI kilties and white-le leather boots strutting, splitting and cart-wheel- ing at the forefront of the home coming parade. Yesterday she de- creed, not only for Elsie but fot her four assistant drum majorettes
 Underpants of blue tnot white) down to two inches above the knee; positively no shorts; blue skirt coV- ering knee; no more splits, nip ups, fancy strutting; feet on ground always.
 The team and the students said it was "an outrage. The major cites bawled all night, and 1t was unlikely, they said, that they would accompany the band today when Il and the team leaves for Chico, Cal to meet the State Teachers tomor- row afternoon.
 Clarence Heckelthorn, editor oi the university paper, Sagebrush voiced the general sentiment: Gosh Elsie Is the spirit of Nevada Sh' makes the team cont out from un' der a lopsided score with a grin. Il the dean must lower the curtain or Elsie's knees, it's curtains also fol the Wolf Pack. They just won'' have any fight any more"
 Editor Heckethorn reported there was talk of student boycott oi future games unless the dean raised the curtain.

 REED AT ARENA
Waterbury Welterweight Wins DecisiOrl-Gainer
 Makes Comeback"
Especial to The Democratl

New Haven, Nov. 3.-Julie Bros- seau, 142 pounder from Waterbury, used left jab and left hook con- sistently to pound out decisive four round decision over Jackie Reed, local Negro, in a preliminary bout on the pro Arena card last evening.
 There was very little action in this go compared to the other bouts. The colored lad threw lot of punches, but few of them landed while the Brass City lad just had to jab continually to win Referee "Jigg- CTS" McCarthy's nod.
 Al Gainer, laid up in bed with illness for four days, made his first showing since fighting Matte Mann last winter, and experienced little trouble in scoring a TKO over Mario Liani, Italian light heavyweight in the first round of scheduled eight rounder.
 Cut Up
 Liani was bleeding so badly from a cut over his right eye, an old injury, that Referee Mccarthy stopped the go although Liani was most willing to continue. Gamer, showing the effects of his recent ill., ness, was not the Gainer of old.
 Shoun Hynes, over from Ireland six months, won his sixth straight fight in this country by outpoint- ing tough Pat Casey, Hartford Italian, 145, in a six rounder. Johnny Compo of New Haven came off the floor for a four count in the first round to outpoint John Echavarria of Puerto Rico in a thrilling six while Mickey Williams of New Haven, 133, and Gil Baby" Face Morris of Danbury, 132, fought a six round draw refereed by James J. Braddock, former worlds heavy weight champion, although your correspondents score card gave the decision to the good looking Hat Towner.
