Nichols' Baton Has Waved Over Miller, Goodman
Red Nichols and his band, who will play for the Sophomore Hop Dec. 12, began a musical existence 10 years ago as Red Nichols and His Five Pennies. Since that time the "Pennies" have included many well-known names.
Just out of Culver Military an appointment to West Point the trumpet was mightier than pointment and joined a band playing near Culver.
Nichols didn't stay long with the Indiana band. Within a few months he went to Broadway to try his lock. En route, he picked up Joe Venuti, probably the "hottest" violinist in the country. Then he found Jimmy Dorsey, Eddie Lang, Miff Mole, and the "Five Pennies" came into being. Their first engagement was at Pelham Heath Inn in New York.
Nichols' new distinctive style was transferred to thousands of phonograph records. Early platters were made under such names as "Red Nichols and His Five Pennies," "Arkansas Travelers," "Charleston Chasers," "The Red Heads," 'Red and his Big Ten," and "Miff and the Red Stompers."
The turn-over in dance band membership is big. When Dorsey went to Paul Whiteman, he picked up an unknown named Benny Goodman. Later came Jack Teagarden, Gene Krupa, Artie Shaw, Glenn
Academy in 1923 Nichols had and a trumpet. Deciding that the sword, he refused the ap-
Miller, and others. Nichols' outfit has been the finishing school for more big-time bandleaders than any other band.
In 1932 Nichols and composer Harry Warren, got together on a theme number for the band, and the result was the "Wail of the Winds." Nichols says he receives more calls for it than for any other song in his library.
The "Five Pennies" have expanded to 13, the lucky number who will play for Sophomore Hoppers next month.

ALL STARS----
(continued from page five) contestant of Prager and Norris was little Larry McSpadden of the Phi Gam's.
Louis Reiderer, first team all-star in '40, got on 14 out of 15 first teams. Dick Pierce, Beta, and Walt Quiring, Sig Alph, were good second vote getters.
There was absolutely no doubt, at least in the minds of voters, as to who were the four outstanding backs in intramurals. 200-pound John Conley who passed the Phi Gam's to their second straight title and Bill Hodge of the Phi Psi team were unanimous choices. Larry Hensley, who was a first team all-star in '39, made 10 out of the 15 elevens, and John Pfitsch of Pflugerville was close behind, rating nine selections.
Eldridge King, Sigma Chi, was the highest ballot-getter on the second team, with four firsts and five seconds. Kresie, Sig Ep, and Mowery, Beta, were close to King, with four firsts and four seconds apiece. Jack Pattie, Pfitsch's pass grabber, rounds out the backfield with one first team vote and seven second team choices.
Two Beta's, Ted Scott and Dean Phillips, with Phi Delt Warren Newcomer and Kappa Sig Larry Spencer nearly earned themselves second team berths. All four tied with a total of seven points. Just two points behind Pattie, the lowest member of the second team backfield.
