They were scheduled to prac tice their routine Friday after noon for the game Saturday, but because of the snow they couldn’t leave the Hotel Pittsburgher, where they were staying. “We were all real bored in Pittsburgh,” David Fishburn, trombonist, said, “and all we did was sit around and play cards.” The Blue Band smoker, which was held at the William Penn hotel, was over early, and the boys spent the rest of the evening do ing nothing. Saturday morning they spent with their ears glued to the radio to find out whether or not the game would be played. After hearing .that the game was to be postponed, they held a meeting and decided to go back to State College that afternoon. They gave two concerts one at the Pittsburgher and the other at the station. While at the hotel Ernest Skipper, clarinetist, was telling an elderly gentleman how inefficient' Pittsburgh’s snow re moval was. The gentleman turned out to be David Lawrence, mayor of Pittsburgh: Summing up the experience Fishburn said, “It was fun but I wouldn’t want to live through it again.” NOW!
