Coral Gables Riviera

T-TALK BY BARBARA BROWNE

My! My! It seems as if the girls around campus are always chewing their nails about something. Right now it's the Pi Chi Queen of Clubs Contest. Every sorority at the U has elected a candidate for the title, and all the Greek letter girls are losing sleep trying to guess who will win. Names of candidates submitted so far are Mary Louise Yahner, Chi Omega; Patty Holland, Zeta Tau Alpha; Jacque Watson, Sigma Kappa; Caroline Dodd, Kappa Kappa Gamma; Mary Maroon, Delta Zeta; Audrey Goldwyn, Alpha Epsilon Phi; Dora Dean Allen, Peides; and Anna May Quick, Axaca. The winner will be crowned at the Pi Chi dance December 12 by Alma Jane Lindgren, queen of last year. Homecoming was a success because U. of Miami alumni said everything was "just like old times", and that's how students wanted things to be. They wanted to win the game, but even more they wanted the alumni to feel that the professors was glad to have them back. Al Teeter wanted to be here so much that he flew down for the weekend from Maxwell Field ,Alabama. Lieutenant Bob Downs, former professor of economics at the U, came from Key West for the game. Chi Omegas were beaming here and you around the stadium after homecoming. Mrs. Spessard Holland, who is also a Chi Omega, with a bouquet of chrysanthemums. Cheerleader Jane Mack walked across the field to the Governor's box to make the presentation. "Where is Touchdown Tommy?" everyone wanted to know, for there was no bright orange and green cannon on the field to bring the Hurricanes good luck. Indignant students found out later that Tommy had been stolen from the equipment room by Florida students. Hurrican loyalists at the U vow that they will avenge the degradation of having Tommy stolen even if they have to wait a year to do it. It would have been easy to believe that the entire 30,000 spectators at the game were also at the dances afterwards at the Biltmore and Coral Gables Country Clubs. There were people everywhere. Grads. college students, high school students, and well-wishing Miami supporters were all there together. Sorority and fraternity students had a hard time waiting for the announcements of winners of the homecoming contests. When the winners of the house decorations were announced, the students with the "see what we won" expressions were the Pi Chi boys and Sigma Kappa girls. The Pi Chi house was the setting for two crashed planes piloted by Ace Ferguson and Ace Harrison. In front of the Sigma Kappa house was a ladder representing the Hurricane schedule. A Hurricane was climbing the ladder to reach the Orange Bowl at the top. Winners for the most original skits presented at the Friday night dance were Chi Omega sorority and Phi Epsilon fraternity. Mimi Marquette, proudly hugged the Chi O prize of three tennis balls for the rest of the evening. Suzanne Duzak was proclaimed the best individual performer. For having thirty-seven cars in the parade Saturday afternoon, Zeta Tau Alpha sorority won a dart game. The unusual number of bleary eyes and yawns that the professors saw in their classes Monday morning told them that the students had just finished one of the busiest and fullest weekends of the year.

Grass Seed Firm Opens in Gables

F. H. Woodruff and Sons, Inc., grass seed firm, this week opened a Florida division at Bird Road and Ponce de Leon Boulevard. The firm's main office is located at Milford, Conn., where the company has been operating a seed business for the past ten years. C. W. Baker, turf authority, is head of the grass seed division and W. R. Somers is managing the local branch. Mr. Baker, in the interest of dealers, came to Florida to learn about pasture lands in this state and discovered an extra fine strain of guinet grass for pasturing. Only limited quantities of this grass was found. The grass has underground runners and requires no top dressing; it he stated been known to attract the chinch bug. Mr. Baker had this grass produced at the New York World's Fair and the demand subsequently was so great that the supply was soon exhausted. Since that time it has been found and cultivated in this state. The grass has since been named "Flawn". The Woodruff firm has planted it around their quarters in Coral Gables samples of the various types of grasses most suited for Florida soil. Some of the plantings, according to Mr. Somers, are in the experimental stage while others are for display purposes. Records disclose that 384,-542,691.7 gallons of gasoline were consumed in this State in 1940.

Nino Martini To Sing Here

Nino Martini, leading lyric tenor of the Metropolitan Opera Company, replacing Tito Schipo, will appear with the University of Miami Symphony Orchestra, directed by John Bitter, on January 19. Martini's rise in Opera, Concert, radio and the films has been simultaneous and meteoric, but if the handsome leading tenor of the Metropolitan had to concentrate on one of the four field it would be hard for him to choose. In the short span of years since his rise the magnificent voice and dynamic personality of Nino Martini have earned him such tremendous success and international recognition that today he stands at the very pinnacle of achievement. He is the vocal artist supreme. Martini's voice on the air is an irresistible magnet which holds millions of listeners spellbound. He is the only singer to have ever received that coveted award, the Columbia medal for distinguished contribution to radio art, awarded also to Leopold Stowkowski, and Admiral Byrd. It was given to Martini as "the man who more clearly symbolizes that artistic perfection whereby radio lives and grows."

Cadets Enjoy First Sunday Club Tea

When guests enjoy themselves so much that they stay for two hours after "departure time" the party is an undoubted success. That was the experience of American and British cadets who were entertained Sunday afternoon by the Coral Gables Woman's Club at the home of Mrs. Howard Sullivan, 1244 Anastasia Avenue. Mrs. Sullivan's beautiful tropical garden came in for its full share of attention, as later in the afternoon did the tea table, where Mrs. George M. Copley and Mrs. M. B. Garris presided The "song fest" conducted by Mrs. Clyde Higgins proved equally popular with the cadets and played its full share in detaining them beyond the allotted time. Assisting Mrs. Sullivan and her daughter, Mrs. A. J. Koswell, were the following Woman's club members: Mrs. O. P. Rogers, chairman of the party, Mrs. Davis Estill, Mrs. Evan Roser, Mrs. Andrew Dolman, Mrs. Charles Weber, Mrs. Ernestine Price and Mrs. Robert Pentland—who, incidentally, received a great thrill when she discovered that several of the British cadets had come directly from her own home town in Scotland.
