The Loco Scheme - Dick Heringer at UC Davis

As I have mentioned, I didn't know much about the parents when they were in college. The one thing that I did know was that something happended to my dad while he was playing football. There were mutterings, but never really a discussion or any real information. As I discuss in a section of my upcoming book, this event had a cascading impact on my life.

THE LOCO SCHEME

All-University Weekend—That's what’s keeping the world going around for most at this stage of the game.
   There’s going to be a helluva football spectacle that day in the Los Angeles Colisseum. I predict (my head is now at the block) the Cal Aggies will beat Santa Barbara, and in the minor game of the day I expect to see the Bruins defeat the Bears.
   On the local scene the Aggies have suffered a setback. Star guard Richard Heringer has been hospitalized because of a brain concussion suffered in the Nevada game. Hope you get back soon, Dick. We need you.
   On the interfraternity side, in basketball we find somewhat the same story, with Kappa Sigma on top with three wins and no losses, followed by a secondplace tie between the AGR’s and SAE’s, with a two-and-one count.
  STANDINGS: 
  Team       W L 
  Kappa Sigs 3 0 
  AGR        2 1 
  SAE        2 1 
  Delta Sig  1 2 
  Sigma Nu   1 2 
  Theta Xi   1 1 
  Calpha     0 2 
  Phi Sig .  0 2
   Sports are breaking out all over the place. Coach Woody Wilson announced that Intramural tennis will Start next week. Anyone is eligible who doesn’t hold a Varsity Letter in tennis. Signups open this week.    Monday, Nov. 2, is the time for all aspirants for the Varsity and Jr. Varsity Basketball teams to meet in Room 119 of the gym. Time, 4 p.m.—Coach Stromgren announced today.
