Dodger Fan's Dream Comes True
'YES SIR, THEY'LL WIN'—that's what Norman Bell, (center) houseman at Phi Delta Theta fraternity, said as he received tickets to the World Series between his favorite Brooklyn Dodgers and The New York Yankees. At left, Fritz Heath, Kansas City, Mo., senior; at right,

A die-hard Brooklyn Dodger fan's fondest dream came true today when members of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity presented Norman Bell, house man at the fraternity for the past 10 years, with tickets to the third and fourth games of the World Series between the Dodgers and the New York Yankees in New York.
The tickets were presented at noon today in ceremonies honoring Mr. Bell. He will leave Kansas City by plane at noon tomorrow and will arrive in New York to see the games at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn Friday and Saturday.
All expenses of the trip are being financed by donations from the members of the fraternity.
Thomas Phoenix, Ellinwood senior and president of the fraternity, said the fraternity began making plans for Mr. Bell's trip in the spring when the Dodgers moved out to a commanding lead in the National League pennant race.
Mr. Bell, a life-long Dodger fan, talked so much of the victories of the team that, "we figured they couldn't possibly win the World Series unless he was there." Phoenix said.
Placement Exams Scheduled
Placement examinations will be given at 1:45 p.m. tomorrow, Friday, and Saturday in 426 Lindley for new students who did not take them during orientation week.
