Seventh Service command, to
which Miller is assigned, that the
former orchestra leader would be
present. His duties at the occa'
sion will be to lead the band in
the "Star Spangled Banner" and
"Praise the Lord and Pass the
Ammunition" during the cere
monial part of the affair.
The last selection is particu
larly appropriate since it is the
one that in Captain Miller's esu
mation is the "outstanding mu
sical selection" of World war II
Month of Training.
Since he entered the specialists
corps of the army of the United
States this fall, Captain Miller nas
had a month's training at Fort
George Meade in duties he as
sumed. He is in charge of all
military bands in the Seventh
Service command, being stationed
in Omaha.
The university band, 140 mem
bers strong, will play under the
direction of Don Lentz, director,
for a quarter hour before the be
ginning of the Ball at 9 p.m. It
will be during the Grand March
ceremonies when Captain Miller
will take over.
It will be Johnny "Scat" Davie
and his men of music furnishing
the music for the dance itself.
Colonel Gardner pointed out. "Mil
ler is coming here in his official
capacity and not as an orchestra
leader alone," he emphasized.
Tickets are now on sale in the
Union office for the Ball. The
prices are: 55 cents a person for
spectator seats; 1.10 for cadets
in uniform with a date; 1.65 for

Case Workouts
MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 22 Now
that the 1942 football season is
history, Dr. Carl Nordly's basket
ball team will get the spot light
in Minnesota's athletic program.
Dr. Nordly, who retraced Dave
MacMillan as head coach this year,
is being assisted by Verl (Gas)
Young, former Carleton man.
Nordly, who is also a Carleton
graduate, will send his new cagers
out on the Field house floor in
their opener against his alma
mater on December 5.
Both ineligibility and lack of
good reserves vex the Gopher
coaches at the present time but
they are hoping that three or four
of the new sophomores will come
through and prove that they are
of Big Ten ability.
The loss of veterans Don Smith,
Hal Thune, Tony Jaros, Don Carl
son and Warren Ajax will hurt
the Gophers considerably. Smith
and Thune have played their three
years of college basketball; Carl
son and Jaros have been called
into the army and Ajax is em
ployed in defense work.
Returning from the 1941-42
squad, however, are Bill Lind,
Kenny Exel, Don Mattson and
Dick Burk. Burk, who has been
out for football, is expected to
report this week along with grid
ders Ed Trumper, Jerry Mulready,
Jerry Carle and Bernie Nelson,
