New Orleans Fun
Marred by Death in
Mardi Gras Parade
BY the Assoeiotsd Press


NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 18.-
Church bells tolled the end of
Mardi Gras revelry and the be-
ginning Of 40 days of fasting and
penance Of Lent.
Mardi Gras. its merrymaking
marred by at least one death,
ended last midnight and the de-
vout began preparing spiritually
for Easter.
But, while Mardi Gras was at
its height, thousands of natives
and visitors from all parts of the
world laughed, cheered. danced
and iostled each other for choice
spots along the parade route Of
Rex, lord Of miSrule.
Truck Kills CoIIegian.
During the parade Of the
Krewe Of Orleans. a 17-year-old
merrymaker jumped from a
trailer truck and slipped beneath
its wheels. Phil Warren STRAIT
ton, jr., a Tulane University
freshman, was pronounced dead
on arrival at a New Orleans hos
pita1.
The midmorning parade of Rex
pushed through the packed
streets as the shouting spectators
and high-voiced children called
for the men on the floats to
throw me something, mister. I"
It is tradition for the masked
and costumed float riders to toss
trinketS to the crowds as the
procession moves through the
city. There is a mad scramble
for the cheap beads and cther in
expensive items.
Schools Closed.
Mardi GraS is a holiday in
New Orleans and the schools
were closed for the day so the
children could flock to the fun.
Rex, Mechanical Engineer
Charles c. Crawford, halted the
parade on historic Canal street
and toasted his queen, Debutante
Adelaide Wisdom.
King Zulu, the Negro ruler,
and his warriors opened the day
Of fun by floating down the
Mississippi River on a barge.
Comus, the oldest Mardi Gras
organization in the Crescent
City, concluded the seasons
parading with a torch-lit march
last night.
After the Comus parade Rex
and Comus held separate balls
in the divided municipal audi
torium. At midnight the two
kings met and toasted each other
as a signal for the end of the
revelry and the beginning of
Lent.

Virginio's Losses Tempered
BY Prospects for Next Year

Mcdonald could borrow a note
from Art Guepe. his predecessor
at Virginia and now the VAN
derbilt coach. Saturdays VIC
tory was Vandy's first, but Guepe
doesn't worry about winning. He
may be the most unperturhed
coach in the business. He still
weighs the same (170) as he did
while playing in the backf1eld at
Marquette 16 years ago.
I've lost some hair since
then," he says, but that's
heredity, not football"
Vanderbilt isn't going any
where this season, but Guepe,
thoughtful father of two boys
and a girl, insists there is more
to football than winning.
YOU'RE going to win some and
lose some," he says. 1T may
sound corny, but what enjoy
about this job is watching these
boys mature, watching them
learn self-disclipine, teamwork. "
Erwin Jones An Example.
Erwin Jones is case in point.
Fans here may remember Jones
as a fine high school tackle with
George Washington. Well, he is
a pre-med student now and an
actor-took the role of Mark
Antony in the schools presen-
tation of Julius Ceasar.
Jones missed the opening
game with Penn" Guepe says,
because he had a bad ankle. He
was out for practice the follow
ing Tuesday and was in the hos
pital Wednesday with appendi-
citis. That knocked him out for
the next three games, but he was
back out last Monday, ready to
go again"
So Jones played his first game
Of the season Saturday. Jones
is fine young man, says Guepe.
That's what makes the game
worth while. Vanderbilt's chances
against Georgia Tech Saturday
in Nashville? Not very good,
perhaps, but then, there are a
lot of fine young men playing on
losing football teams.

Maryland 10 Remove
Rockfish CreeI Limit
Rx the Associntad Pres,

HAGERSTOWN, Oct. 26.-
The Maryland Game and Inland
Fish Commission has decided not
to shorten the season on black
bass but it plans to remove the
creel limit on striped bass next
year.
These developments came as
the commission wound up d
weekend session held here in
conjunction with a meeting of
the League of Maryland Sports
men.
The commission also changed
several trout streams from a
temporary to permanent classi-
f1cation. There had been pro-
posals from some sportsmen'
clubs in Western Maryland to
cut the black bass season by a
month. But biologists explained
the fish have completed spawn
ing by May Is and there was
no need to shorten the June l.
November 80 season.
The striped bass or rockfish
creel limit is now 10 a day.
This is to be lifted next year.
