About 45,000 people will have a dash of Scotch before the Dartmouth game Saturday, when Leigh Cross '51, sole bagpiper in the University Band makes his initial appearance of the year on the Stadium turf.
Cross, unable to march against Columbia because his 80-year-old pipes were on route from Oregon, received them last night.
The Sophomore virtuose kept in practice over the summer by acting as pipe sergeant for the Coquille, Ore., Drum and Bagpipe band. That organization was starred at the September state Convention of the American Legion at Asteria, Oregon.
Cross' bagpipe can not be used to play in unison with the band so it must be saved for spot solos. Bagpipes, it seems, cannot be tuned to the customary "A."
Though his kilts are at present at the cleaners, Cross expects to retrieve them in time to appear with the band at the rally tonight.
His selection is entitled "Chorihelite's 43rd Welcome to the Northern Meeting."
