BOB GILLETTE
Have a good summer
Linksmen make SEC team
People everywhere are going on crash diets to shake
off the winter supply of fat, basking themselves in the
sun to replace their pallid hides with a healthy summer
glow, and generally acting shamelessly.
For what 0 It’s summer time. Time to expose those
flabby flacons we call bodies. Time for swimming,
softball, baseball, skiing, boating, fishing, and the rest of
those standard summer time sports.
The sad part about it is that so many lesser sports
are being ignored for the established ete types.
Doesn’t anybody play dirty-dung-digit anymore 0 You
remember dirty-dung-digit, don’t you? I’m afraid the
game has gone with the old cow pastures that used to
dot the country side and block your way to the
swimming holes and smoking places of your youth
Remember hill rolling? It used to involve finding a
hill and seeing who could play the best at getting shot,
falling, and rolling down the hill. The game is still
played during concerts at Legion Field, and the
participants really play for keeps, even down the glassy,
rolled-back eyes It’s really impressive.
Remember playing doctor? Enough said about that
game, except that it seems to be very popular during
the summer months still.
And who can forget those army games we used to
play when we were kids, with pine cones as hand
grenades, old sauce pans as helmets, and broomstick as
tommy guns. This game is still popular on campuses and
city streets during the summer. The game is a little
more realistic now than when we used our mothers*
perfume in a water pistol as lethal gas I mean they use
real gas, and grenades, and blood.
Everybody remembers hide-and-go-seek. The game was
most exciting when we played it around dusk, that way
you could relish the added excitement of hiding in dark
mysterious places with black widow spiders, vampires,
and werewolves. The game is still very popular today,
but it’s not called hide-and-go-seek any more it’s
called draft evasion.
You remember marbles? Of course you do. The
pupping fear that you were about to lose the things
you valued most in the whole world your cat’s eyes
and your aggies President Nixon still plays this game in
Washington.
Anybody can go swimming or water skiing, that takes
about as much imagination as writing a term paper for
an English class. Be creative' Roll down a hill, or get
your toes dirty, but whatever you do have a nice
