For '68
Team Up/
ftusf Soys
A pleased Rod Rust hud good things to
say utMiut hi* football team this week aw
spring training reached the halfway
mark.
"The team is improving with each
practice. We're learning from our mis-
takes and hard work and we're letting
our share of each," the second-year coach
said.
THE PUBLIC will get chance to
make its own evaluation of the team
April 27 when the green and white clash
in the annual scrimmage.
"We've had a few scrimmages within
the 80-man team, but this will be the
first full game," Kust said.
Rust feels that the intruquad scrim-
mages have t een u great aid in getting u
good picture of the team, "\Ne get the
boys down on film and they can see what
they're doing," he said.
The coach predicts a good year for the
Flock. "We should have a strong team
this season. It is too early to judge the
performance of the team as a whole, but
the boys have the will to win. Our men
like to do well. If they don't they are
hard on themselves and this is what
makes for a winning team,"
TWO BAULKS have received injuries
in training They are Oedric Hardman,
who will be out for a week with a head
injury, and George Austin, who's out for
the rest of spring training with a knee
injury. Rust said, "We have been lucky
as far as injuries go. Other than Hard-
man and Austin, v e have had only cuts
and bruises.
"We need to improve now if we are to
become a well balanced team. There are
10 practice sessions left and then a long
summer facing us before the fall training
session," Rust said.

WAS KEATS THE BOB DYLAN
OF HIS DAY?
Who was the greatest of the English Romantic Poets-
Byron, Shelley or Keats? This question has given rise to
many lively campus discussions and not a few stabbings.
Let us today try to find an answer.
First, Keats (or The Ixiuisville Slugger, as he is com-
monly called.) Keats' talent bloomed early. While still a
schoolboy at St. Swithin's he wrote his epic lines:
If I am good I get an apple,
So I don't whistle in the chapel.
From this distinguished beginning he went on to write
another 10 million poems, an achievement all the more re-
markable when you consider that he was only five feet
tall! I mention this fact only to show that physical prob-
lems never keep the true artist from creating. Byron, for
example, was lame. Shelley suffered from prickly heat all
winter long. Nonetheless, these three titans of literature
never stopped writing poetry for one day.
Nor did they neglect their personal lives. Byron, a devil
with the ladies, was expelled from Oxford for dipping
Nell Gwynne's pigtails in an inkwell. (This later became
known as Guy Fawkes Day.) He left England to fight in
the Greek war of independence. He fought bravely and
well, but women were never far from his mind, as evi-
denced by these immortal lines:
How splendid it in to fight for the Greek,
But I don't enjoy it half as much an dancing cheek to
cheek.
While Byron fought in Greece, Shelley stayed in Eng-
land, where he became razor sharpener to the Duke of
Gloucester. Shelley was happy in his work, as we know
from his classic poem, Hail to thee, blithe strop, but no
matter how he tried he was never able to get a proper edge
on the Duke's razor, and he was soon banished to
Coventry. (This later became known as The Industrial
Revolution.)
One wonders how Shelley's life and the course of Eng-
lish poetry would have differed if Personna Super Stain-
less Steel Blades had been invented 200 years earlier. For
Personna is a blade that needs no stropping, honing or
whetting. It's sharp when you get it, and sharp it stays
through shave after luxury shave. Here truly is a blade
fit for a Duke or a freshman. Moreover, this Personna,
this jewel of the blade-maker's art, this boon to the cheek
and bounty to the dewlap, comes to you both in double-
edge style and Injector style. Get some now during "Be
Kind to Your Kisser Week."
But I digress. Byron, 1 say, was in Greece and Shelley
in England. Meanwhile Keats went to Rome to try to
grow. Who does not remember his wistful lyric:
Although / am only five feet high,
Some day I will look in an elephant's eye.
But Keats did not grow. His friends, Shelley and Byron,
touched to the heart, rurhed to Rome to stretch him. This
too failed. Then Byron, ever the ladies man, took up with
Lucrezia Borgia, Catherine of Aragon, and Annie Oakley.
Shelley, a more domestic type, stayed home with his wife
Mary and wrote his famous poem :
I love to stay home with the missus and write,
And hug her and kiss her and give her a bite.
y ■
Mary Shelley finally got so tired of being bitten that
she went into another room and wrote Frankenstein.
Upon reading the manuscript, Shelley and Byron got so
scared they immediately liooked passage home to Eng-
land. Keats tried to go too, but he was so small that the
clerk at the steamship office couldn't see him over the top
of the counter. So Keats remained in Rome and died of
shortness.
Byron and Shelley cried a lot and then together com-
posed this immortal epitaph:
Good old Keats, he might have been short.
Hut he was a great American and a heck of a good sport.
• • • ®l" . M Hfculman
Truth, not poetry, is the concern of I'ersonnn, and we
tell yon truly that you'll not find a heller shavinn com-
bination than Personna and Hurma-Shave, regular or
menthol.
