Wild Bill' Gunned 'em Down;
elly Triumphed on Gridiron
By IVAN FORD
Executive Sports Editor
|Like his counterpart of yes-
year, Western Marshal Hick-
;, Central's "Wild Bill" Kelly
s gunned men down.
Only Kelly's triumphs have
me on the gridiron, not on
2 dusty plains of Kansas and
xas.
to who was the more sue-
in his line of work, it
uld have to be rated a toss-
• Hickok's record speaks
jr itself; so does Kelly's.
In his sixteenth and final
ason as CMU's head foot-
11 mentor, Kelly has guided
s teams to an overall 86-57-2
cord   and    six    conference
As
ssful
titles, more than have been
won by any other coach in
IIAC history. His 1956 team
was 9-0 and ranked in the final small-college polls.
Tutors The Pros
He has tutored several men
who have gone on to play in
the pro ranks, notably Jim
Podoley, Walter Beach and
Larry Moore. The list of players who have earned acclaim
by nomination to the various
honor teams and who have
played football under "Wild
Bill" is endless.
But it is in the area of gridiron upsets that the Kelly
name is perhaps most famous.
Few coaches can boast of coming up with the big win in the
clutch as many times as can
Kelly.
Prime examples of this are
the 13-0 shutout of Northern
Michigan last year at Northern's homecoming when
Northern was 4-0 and ranked
fifth in the national small-college polls. The Chips stood
0-4 at that stage of theh sea
son.

the Chippewa Marching Band
will begin the snake dance at
7 p.m. at the Southwest Union
and proceed onto campus,
stopping at dormitories and
circling fraternity houses as
they gather people.
Tentatively scheduled to
speak at the rally are President Judson W. Foust; Kenneth "Bill" Kelly, head football coach; Bob Ballard, student body president; Paul
Verska, Detroit junior, and
captain of the football squad
and William Theunissen, dean
of the School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation.
Parade Tomorrow
The celebration gets into
full swing tomorrow with the
parade of floats beginning
beginning from the campus at
12:10 p.m. The climax of the
weekend will come at 2 p.m.
Saturday when the Maroon
and Gold Chippewas take on
the Redbirds of Illinois State
at Alumni Field.
President Judson W. Foust
will crown Homecoming
Queen Sandy Richmond during halftime festivities of the
football game. Coach Bill
Kelly will also be honored at
this time.
"Fiesta" is this year's homecoming theme, which promises a Spanish-type background for the week-end of
regular and special activities,
reunions and informal meetings.
Following the football game
will be a number of open
houses, teas, alumni meetings
and coffee hours, to be ended
with   the    two   Homecoming

Queen Sandy, five-foot six

by the AST's and Phi Sigma
Epsilon. The two groups built
their campaign around the
homecoming theme Fiesta.
Their slogan, "Si, Si Sandy,"
was sung to a calypso beat at
the Queen's Assembly where
Sandy was presented in a small
Mexican cart.

'36-'46 Meet Again
The Decade Reunion Spotlight will be on the classes of
1936 through 1946. It was 10
years ago that this group, under the slogan, "'36 Thru '46
Meet Again in '56" returned to
the campus for an outstanding
decade reunion. The ten year
repeat of the re-union is being
promoted this year under the
logical banner of "'36 Thru '46
Meet AGAIN in '66."

The jam session will be from
8-10:30 p.m. Friday in the University Center. They will also
play for a jam session at the
Hotel Chieftain at 11 p.m. the
same evening and in the
Homecoming Parade. They
will be featured at the Alumni Dance at the Chieftain
again on Saturday night.
In addition to the Class of
1941, members of the Silver
"C" Club, the Alumni Association and the University will
give special recognition to
those faculty members who
joined CMU in 1941 and have
served the students for the
past 25 years. The recognition will be conferred upon
Jane McNamara, assistant professor of physical education;
Mrs. Freddie Link Simonds,
associate professor of home
economics and Irw in M.

at the Hotel Chieftain on Saturday is open to the public
