The Rooters Case
At the Rose Bowl fiasco, SC's rooters came up with on# card stunt that was a honey.
It was meant to picture Bob Chappuis a* a tribute to the GREAT Michigan all-American.
What it did say was “See ‘The Paradine Cas*V
Ed Jenkins, Knight in charge of designing the stunts, says that the master sheets were stolen before the game, and that all the men in charge were worried about what was going to come up during the course of the stunts.
Knight President Ernie Wilson says that he too was fearful of the results. When he saw that the portrait of Chappuis had misfired, he ordered the stunt wiped out on the double.
No one seems to know who could have tinkered with the cards or with the master sheets.
It's our feeling that someone’s idea of a quaint little joke just wasn’t very funny. Not only did it slur a terrific sportsman and player, but it gave SC a very bad black eye. It’s bad enough with blimps and trailers and loudspeakers hawking various wares, but let’s keep our card stunts uncommercial, please.
We’d like to know who thought up the cute little dido that added insult to an already injurious day in SC’s history.
We think that you. the innocent rooters who have to flip the cards without knowing what you're being made a party to, would like to know the inside story too.
The least we could do would be to make an apology to Chappuis and the public.
For our own critical comment on the film in question, see Page Two. And don’t say we didn’t warn you.
