Vanderbilt's gym

[Jarhead]

The benches at Duke Indoor Staduim were on the end lines into the sixties. I am not sure when that was changed but Bubas was still there when it was done.

It was done by Vic Bubas, as was the pep band, but I am not sure what year. Probably his second season, but it may have been his first. The Devil in a Blue Dress dance started about then, and there never were cheerleaders at the games until then. I believe that Mrs. Bubas choreographed the dance. Art Heyman was his first recruit. Something of a sea change, wasn't it?

Emily Meeker, one of the cheerleaders, choreographed "Devil with the Blue Dress On" in the mid sixties. (Sagegrouse might verify the date.) After seeing the routines of cheerleaders on the west coast, Coach Bubas requested choreographed routines many of which are still used.

In the mid-60's the cheerleaders performed a dance routine at half time to The Stripper. The dance was so sexy that the fans stayed in their seats until it was completed and then went out to the concourse for a break. It was incredible!
