Players Speak Briefly.
These players and several other
standoutS from the Tennessee
game made brief speeches and
then entered their chartered buses
for the trip to College Park.
The crowd at the airport started
gathering as early as 8 o'clock and
kept themselves warm in the
crisp, cool air by singing, chanting
and cheering as they were enter
tanned by the school band. Such
impromptu cheers as whats a
disease, Tennessee: What's the
cure. Maryland" startled unsus-
pecting passengers in other Sec
tionS of the airport.
The players had voted to go
from the airport to the WMAL
television studios on Connecticut
avenue to see movies of the Sugar
Bowl game. When they finally
got to WMAL the showing was
almost over, so they continued to-
College Park without getting out
OF the buses.
The parade route was up Mount
Vernon boulevard to Highway
Bridge, up 14th street to Consti-
tuition avenue, then out Seven
teenth street, Connecticut avenue,
