T o E a r n $ I OMajor Rameses II (Iflth of a long

lineage of Egyptian Pharaohs) will lead the cheering section at the bi­weekly pep rally for the R.O.T.C. next Tuesday.

The major will be gaily ornamented in short pants, plaid shirt and a Mont­gomery beret. He will carry a mega­phone in one hand and seven baseball bats in the other.

All the advanced course boys are looking forward to the occasion witli zest. As one put it, “We won’t sign anything, but it sure is a hell of a lot of fun to watch the nuijor hop around with his technicolor face, going through various hues.”

This rally is the 342nd in a series of 500 to induce the uneconomical en­gineers to accept a gift of $16 a month from the government.

Of course the engineers ain’t so dumb—they know that the $16 would put them over the $25,000 limit and then they’ll lose it all.

The rally will start with a short (3- hour) talk from Rameses, followed by a community sing and wind up with the Drexel ode.

All the men that have signed by that time will then leave, and the rest will be given the third degree, the hot seat, and two slaps on the wrist.

The major could not be reached for comment, but sources close to him re­ported, “They’ll all be sorry if they don’t sign—mark my word for th is . ’

F. Foutd s Tip Pays$ 2 . 2 0

By Joe and Asbestos

Students are endeavoring this week

to love several of their more fruitful

courses held at the spacious Pimlico

Track. The lab work so far lias re ­

sulted in the prof insisting that ('ount

Fleet be bet to show. Now this is

poor folly for anyone, even without

the benefit of a $6.50 economics book,

knows right well the Count will win

just about anything he runs, Ite it

the Preakness or the mile in the l.F. track meet.

It is thus easily seen l»y a simple integration that no money can be made risking $200 to win $2.20, for as was stated on the first day of the course, “I’m going to teacli you students to make money,”

Note this example of one poor fel­low, Wilbur Whatsit, who while down­ing his 5 of nine breakfast in what passes for a fraternity house casually said to the chef, “Got any tips for today?”

“Try Tip Toe in the 5th at Narra- gansett, he paid me $14.00 last week,” was the reply from his majesty the cook—and so our friend Wilbur jots down this choice morsel of infornui- t ion; places it in a portion of his small brain entitled “Mental Notes,” and hurries off to his class in the Econ­omic Principles of betting on Count Fleet.

On arriving, W ilbur examines his notes which, in part, read:

after tlie faculty meeting, and refused to come out. He said, “ The students don’t deserve to take finals and we’re not going to give them. I ’ve got my keg of Kaintiicky corn in here and I’ll hold out until I d r ink it up— that’s until tomorrow.”

The conscientious seniors in the meantime called a council of war and prepared to re-draft the petition, whose nuiin point was this:

“We have been here for almost five years. In that lime we have had an average of eight hours of class a week. Our professors never gave us a (|uiz or any homework at a ll; in fact, we’ve had so much time on our hands that we’ve run out of movies to see. The final exam in math. 1 (our toughest course) consisted of Jed’s classical problem—X = l . What does X equal; and Sam gave out lOO’s in hydraulics if you could draw a piezometer tube.

“ We’ve been able to cut all we wanted and sleep was encouraged in class. We’ve been given every aca­demic break possible. Compare this to Pomona Jr. (College, where the stu­dent goes to class 12 hours a day, takes 4 ipiizzes a day, does homework 16 hours a day, and sleeps the other minus four. We want a schedule like that, but at least give us six-hour finals. We haven’t worked for five years—let us do a little before we gel out.”

R u m p fLast night bedlam broke loose in

the Great Court as the entire senior

class attacked the faculty and refused

to attend classes, i t was a bloody

mess, and seventeen cracked skulls

were counted at 10 P. M. last night

as the riot continued far into the wee

hours of the morning. The seniors

and the facuhy battled with every and

any weapon available. Seniors used

bricks, bats, old physics textbooks by

Dr. Schraeder and divers M.E. 18

notes. The faculty resorted to a lot

of hard words, suphuric acid, arsenic,

and old lace.The strike had the full sanction of

John L. Lewis and the C.I.O. Local 18,945.7 of the Duluth salt workers. Protests by the War Production Board and Frankie had no apparent effect on any of the parties.

Reason for the uprising was not ap­parent, but from a close friend who has a friend in the pre-junior class who knows the cousin of a senior the reason has to do with the nude statues which are abundant in the school.

Representatives from the C.I.O. said the nudes had to go or else the seniors will refuse to lake their final exams. Labor leaders said, “Replace the nudes or clothe them before the morals of the seniors reach the bot*

turn.”

However the faculty refused to

budge, declaring, “What will we old

men do when the co-eds leave?”

Several prominent seniors were in­

terviewed as they lay prostrate on the

floor of Cavanaugh’s.

Said class President Rumpf, “I t’s a

matter of calcium carbonate versus

drooling.”

Jack Richter prominent about the

campus between 2 and 3, unflinching,

said, “Yes.”

Joe Vill, the man who loses 15

pounds every night when he takes off

his key chain, declared, “I know I ’m

the best actor in school.”

Charlie Caulfield was overheard to

say, “Take away Joe Vill’s keys and

Philly will top the nation’s scrap

drive.”

Professor Giles upheld the faculty

as he whispered, “I ’ve seen better

statues in Minaky’s.”

Doc Hanson sumiaed it up in a few

words, “Make mine Calvert’s.”

Champion of the cause for the seniors was McDonald, brass rail philosopher. He said, “I ’m in favor of working t h e ------of them. I in ­tend to give at least 3 two-hour quizzes a week in my three-hour philosophy class.”

O f F a c u l t yIn an exclusive release to T he T ri­

angle, riimpus rap of dubious merit,

President Lonp Ray revealed the re ­

sults of the I’ie Grahba Pie faculty

poll. Lonp Ray, brother of the inter­

nationally famous cheer Short Ray, in

commenting on the outcome of the

poll said, “I d idn’t know we had so

many .S.A.’s and S.O.B.’s on my fac­

ulty. I t ’s a pood tiling the students

don’t have the power to fire them or

we’d be down to Sam, Dawson and

Frank R.”

The Pie Grahba box-stuffing episode

took place months ago, but it wasn’t

until last week that the tabulators

finally deciphered all tiie maledictions

that came out of water-front dives, the

Trees and the Tracy, to appear on the

ballots.

Since the advent of this great catas­

trophe in the lives of the faculty, a

few marked chanpes have been in evi­

dence throuphout the halls. Among

the more notable were the lowerinp of

the price of Prof. Billing’s books to

65 cents, and Prof. Repscha continu­

ally laughing.In the G.E. Uepartmeiit Prof. Leon­

ard iielped the boys measure so that they were a full 2" wrong. Elsewhere Dr. Nutting was observed traveling at a pace so slow that the average man might catch up to him.

It has been rumored that Dr. Strat­ton is now telling the same set of facts to everyone inquiring about any one thing. This is, of course, only a rumor and has no authoritative hacking.

L a n g e

E l e c t r o c u t e dAfter being the subject of much

wonderment and conjecture for sev­

eral weeks the true story of why Prof.

Lange has had his finger in a sling

has at last come to light. Contrary

to popular belief, it was neither

shorted out while closing breakers,

nor was it burnt while hurling light­

ning bolts at his sleeping senior elec­tricals.

“It seems that just the other day

a man came into ProL Lange’s office

and he had a problem. This man was

a good practical electrician, and so

our hero, the professor, promised to

investigate the trouble in the hopes

of finding something to keep his radi ­

cal jun ior electricals from writing

more petitions. The problem turned

out to be a bad transformer in the

high-voltage lab. Thereupon, Mr.

C A M E R A SA n d E v e ry th in g P h o tograph ic

K L E I N & G O O D M A N

18 S. 10th Street Phila., Pa.

Lange then addressed his seniors, who happened lo be strolling in and out of the lab at about this time; “I ’m not going to tell you hoys what to do with this transformer, but here’s a good practical problem for you— so fix i t !”

Little did that group of dauntless electrical maintenance men realize the peril that hung over them as they worked feverishly in the M.E. lab to tear their transformer apart and fix it before some hydraulics man might drown them all in a flood from the Terry Turbine.

At last the final bolt was loosed, and the signal given to the crane to “take it away,” while Prof. Lange held a mighty linger to guide the coil. But, alas, too late did those electricals realize the folly of trusting mechanical hooks and chains instead of magnetic lilt. Too late did the helping hand comprehend the impending doom ; for there it was now, caught like a rat in a trap!

And to the bloody solution of this practical problem, our hero only added on his way to the iniirniary, “I sure hope that all that blood doesn’t contaminate the transformer o i l!”

Or Life Among the Termites

Dear Miss Blottzig:

Can you give some advice that may decide the turning point in my life? "Von see, I am eighteen years old and consider myself the most stunning sweet thing on the campus. I have long blond hair that glistens in the morning sunlight like pure gold. In the moonlight it has been known to make hoys swoon. My eyes are like deep cool pools of azure blue, and my lips remind one of rose petals in June. My body is as if I just stepped out of a Petty drawing.

I don’t want to seem vain, but the boys just follow me around all day and keep asking me for dates. I have never had a date because my mother is very strict with me. All of my girl friends go out with the boys and say it’s wonderful, especially the kissing and hugging. Yet I ’m cooped up in my room all night with my books while the ’phone just keeps ringing. All the handsome boys in school try to gel me on the ’phone so that they can hear my sweet musical voice. The situation is becoming more acute daily.

My problem is this, T. B.: Should I lend my Num ber 17 coupon to my cousin in East Orange and go bare ­footed this summer?

Franny Hitchcock.Dear Miss T. B.:

My boy friend and I are considered to be quite handsome. We have a hard time trying to concentrate on chemical engineering because we are continually bothered by all the girls. All of these girls keep telling ns we look like Clark Gable or Gary Cooper, and they are always fainting when we come into sight. We can’t help being so beautiful, but can you tell us what to do?

Should we jo in the French Foreign Legion so that the rest of the boys can have girl friends or should we go to Hollywood and capitalize on our merits?

Two lady killers,

George Brown,

Harvey Hauer.Dear Blot:

I am in love with a sailor. Recently my girl friend visited me when this sailor was around. She made a big fuss over him and he asked her for a date. He took her to Woodside Park and they rode the ro ller coaster to ­gether and he held her hand. I am heart broken. Should I see my den­tist? Should I wash my dainties in Lux? Should I stop chewing tobacco?

Cut p lug’s my brand,

Betty Ann Miller.

The Swig Sisters are all laid up with the measles this week.

Next week-end they will have their annual trek to the shore. Stag, as usual. Dean Horsey will chaperone, setting up her residence at the Gay Shore at Sonier’s Point.

• Baggy Baggy BaggyThe Bag sisters are not doing any­

thing this week, and if anybody else is in the same fix. please call Eve. 2400.

• Sigma Alpha Kappa

The Sigma Alpha Kappa sorority is busily planning its usual spring man­hunt. Every year at this time the sacks gather in the Court, and bash any man who comes within range, over the head with a baseball bat. The vic­tims are then carted away to the prac­tice house and the girls practice. Few have survived this ordeal to tell of their experiences.

The girls reported a net deficit in their treasury of $37,601,274.36 with assets of 2 checks for short beers.

• Try K rappy Epson Salts

The Try K rap’s had a house dance last Saturday night and, as usual, two brothers showed up with dates.

The brothers only recently com­pleted pledging all the men from win­ter term with a ceremony held at Fort Benning. They have been initiating 10 men a night since January but the Army got to some before the Try K rap ’s did.

• R ye Signa Grammar

At the last meeting of the Rye Sig’s a solemn resolution was adopted to viz: that the girls shall hereby prom­ise to live up to Mallgrave’s insertion in last week’s column. From now on they will all be little wolfesses. Watch out, what’s left of the Drexel men (and Delta Swig’s), here they come.

• Sad Apple Pies

The S.A. are grooming themselves for the Interfraternity track meet. Marsh Austin, star runner, is getting in shape for the relay by daily jaunts from the house to the Dorm and run ­ning rings around the freshmen.

The boys will set up a training table at the Gamma Tau Tau house starting Monday.

• Lambasted Chi's

The Lambs reported that they will invest 13 billion dollars in the next bond drive. At least half of the money will be obtained from revenue from the bar in the cellar and from the poker kitty.

The chapter plans to use the money to go local next year.

Editor’s Note:

Address all libel suits to Harold

Jethro Budd, our legal adviser.

T h a t L L . D .There has been much speculation

as to the meaning of those letters,

LL.D., which recently made their ap­

pearance after President Rea’s name.

Some of his golfing friends say they

stand for “Lots Longer Drives” ;

others say “Lifts Loftier Divots.” Wall

Street associates suggest “Loves Larger

Dividends,” or maybe “Less Lousy

Deals,” The faculty isn’t sure w’hether

i t ’s “Loafers Look Damnable” or

“Let’s Lynch Disque.” The bridge

gang insists on “Lady Luck’s Darling.”

A usually reliable source, who asks

to be kept anonymous, offers “Likes

Lively Drinks.” The president him ­

self says the real meaning is “Long

Live Drexel.”

F red J. M allgrave

Fearless F redd ie removed his all- day sucker and proudly exclaimed, ‘-| bet you don’t know I was top man in my class in high school,” to which Jim m y truthfully replied, “I’ll bel you’ll be low man here.”

After flunking math, 1, diem. I, M.E. 1, and home ec. 182, Fred ap­plied to Villanova for transfer and was prom ptly rejected, being 4F (4 flunks) •

A year la ter the persistent chem, eng, p lunked down another S205 and started out the second of his four freshman years.

About this time, his papa told him the story of the “Apple Blossom,” and for two terms F red was the scourge of 3320 Powelton.

the same playwright who wrote the memorable “VVh^ P •Wnrinff the last war. ‘ Glory?”during the la s t w a r .

O r ig in a l ly , th e “ E ve o f St. M a r k ” w as scheduled fn,- ,1 term, but permission was at first re- "

the professionalfused, since m e protesstonal per formance had no t yet appeared in Philadelphia. The Playwrights Com­pany, however, finally granted Alpha Psi Omega the right to present “Eve of St. Mark” on May 21 and 22.

Extensive preparations have been made and no expense has been spared in its production. The budget for this show is the largest allotted to any pl.iy since Alpha Psi’s inception at Drexel. Eleven different scenery changes have been designed by the staRe crew and the corresponding lighting effects for each scene have been prepared by the lighting staff.

On the dramatic side, there are twenty-one characters in the play, which is a moving story of a typical soldier in uniform. The scenes are varied in moral and substance; some­times hilarious, sometimes mournful, sometimes farcical, sometimes full of pathos. But it is essentially a story ol human beings; of ordinary pelople everybody knows, whose norm al lives were rudely in terrup ted by the pres­ent conflict. If the show can be con­sidered to have a villain, it is no t any one person or group of people, but it is the uncertainty, doubt and fear in people’s minds which lead to inse- cnrity and war. Perhaps the theme of the play might be expressed in the words of Frances Marion, a private in the play, who asks, “How close does a man have to come to being hori­zontal before he earns the right to stay perpendicu lar?”

Principal characters are Joe Vill, who does double duty as the lead, Qnizz West; and Lee Robinson, his sweetheart back home. Doug Hyde, a freshman, plays the par t of Frances Marion, an aristocratic southerner. Jerry Faust, Pete Halas, Jeananne Bressler, and A1 Clemmer also hold key parts. Mary Lyons does a her ­culean task as director, and Jerry Faust oversees all special lighting and staging effects.

There will be a dance in the Stu­dent Building next Tuesday afternoon, May 18, from three to five, publicizing “Kve of St. Mark.” Tickets will be available for the play then or at al ­most any time in the Court.

and its director, Mr. Welch, have been receiving daily compliments on the Annual Sprln" Concert given last Fri ­day evening. We hear that Dean Strat­ton, with many others of the faculty, had very favorable comments on the program. Dean Dorsey said of the concert, “I greatly enjoyed the Glee Club Concei't. It was a very creditable performance, reflecting most favorably upon the students, their leader, the accompanist, and the college. When one considers the discouragements en­countered this year the final success of the Glee Club is amazing.” “I cer­tainly enjoyed it—enjoyed it thor­oughly. I ’m glad I came. I think Mr. Welch deserves great credit,” was the opinion of Mr. Lingle, who, with Mrs. Lingle, chaperoned the dance after­ward. He said also that, like the rest, he was impressed with the virtuosity of the violinist.

Bourse Meets Weekly

Members of the Drexel Bourse are conducting weekly luncheon meetings at the Lido Restaurant. Dean Black- stone and Professor MacMullen are steady patrons, with President Rea to be added to this group shortly.

A statistical report was given to President Rea concerning Drexel’s curriculum. This survey was con­ducted among the alumni of Drexel and leading industrialists to secure suggestions for additions or correc­tions to our curriculum. It was quite revealing to hear from these men of the business world just what the value of a Drexel graduate is to a potential employer. This survey is in collabo­ration with the renowned Phi Kappa Phi Student Poll.

Like all other organizations, the Bourse is discussing proposed changes in its constitution with regard to mem­bership requirements and the possi­bility of changing its name.

Preparations are also being made for the Bourse to continue its service to Drexel after the war.

The Bala Country Club will be the

scene of Scabbard and Blade’s dinner

dance on Friday, May 14. Drexel’s

future generals will polish what brass

there is left on their uniforms for the final gathering before entering active service this June.

L o u n g e U s e As a result of an editorial printed

in T h e T r ia n g le last month, action mis been taken at the last meeting of Women’s Student Government Asso­ciation to clean up the existing condi- lions in the Women’s Lounge. New' restrictions were set up on the use of the room in an effort to eliminate the present misuses.

Women will not be allowed to eat their lunches in the lounge any more. This does not include small packages of crackers and candy. I t will, how­ever, eliminate milk bottles, m ilk­shake glasses, and empty paper bags lying around.

Students are also required to place all cigarette butts in the waste paper cans and ash trays that are provided for them. A further restriction was placed on coats and books that are left lying in the lounge all day long. In the future, any coats or books found in the lounge will be turned in to the Registrar’s Office.

At a request of the Art Department, no more drawing boards may be bor­rowed from the art rooms to be used in the lounge as card tables.

In an effort to combat the situation in the Women’s Lounge, W.S.G.A. is launching a campaign to enforce these new regulations. Any one found vio­lating them will be reported to W.S.G.A., and if violations are fre­quent will be denied the use of the lounge in the future.

The date for commencement has been moved up from Monday m orn ­ing, June 14, the time for which it was originally scheduled. This same move was made last year so that par ­ents of graduating seniors who are engaged in war work would Im able to attend the services without losing valuable time from work.

This automatically eliminates the Baccalaureate service planned for Sunday morning and the president’s tea scheduled for the afternoon.

The exercises will be held at .3:00 in the afternoon in the auditorium at 34th and Spruce Streets, followed by a reception for graduates, their par ­ents, and friends, by President and Mrs. Rea in the Drexel Court.

In addition to the 254 degrees to be awarded, twenty-four jun io r secretarial students and two library students will receive certificates of graduation.

Colleges W arned On Expansion

Colleges and universities through­out the country have been urged by the American Council on Education to delay any adjustments of housing of students, of student schedules, and in capital outlay involved in their par­ticipation in the Army Specialized and Navy College Training Programs until the contracts have been negotiated.

In the view of the American Council on Education, there is little likeli­hood that many more colleges need be added to the list of those already “approved for inspection and possible negotiation of contract.” Moreover, wiiat the ultimate demand will be on the schools chosen for this participa­tion in the war program is as yet uncertain. Delays have occurred in the sending of men to some institu­tions for the Army Specialized Train­ing Program, and it may not be in full swing until June or July.

Five tons of high-grade steel was abandoned by the PR T when they also discovered no trolley was using the track.

Drexel’s seniors have organized a track-removing expedition which will •set out during senior week to scrap and salvage this high-grade steel. After receiving help and approval from President Rea, Drexel’s Public Rela­tions Department, the PTC, WPB, OWI, FDR and Eleanor, the follow­ing committees for removing the tracks have been formed:

Chief Engineer—Ike Auerbach Assistant Engineer—Al Clemmer Equipment Engineer—Charlie Ander-

tees, all the seniors need is someone to do the work. The PTC has offered the use of their a ir hammers, jacks, sledges, and other necessary equip* ment. The rails will be cut into five- foot lengths to facilitate handling by acetvline torches borrowed from the M.E‘. lab.

In doing this work there will be two benefits: the scrap campaign will be richer by five tons, and Drexel will receive favorable press publicity throughout the nation.

Dean Wagonw heels, comptroller,

has announced that due to the terrific

amount of money turned batk to stu-

ilents who have left Drexel for a bet­

ter life, there is not sufficient capital

left in till* treasury to meet the ex­

penses of the Annual Faculty Beer

Parly an<l (llambake. Starting Mon­

day, Harold J. Budd will visit each

class some lime during the day to

deliver a short talk, and then pass

the collection plate among the stu­

dents. il is liopetl that in this wa> tiie

faculty will be able to raise enough

money to have their beer party and

eluinbake, which is to take place at

Snuffy Smith’s farm in the (ireat Smokies.

(George Mable Francis and Lewis” Priscilla (ireene, pictured above in their commerce and engineering soft­ball uniforms, are the editors of the new f;. and E. rag, “Notice of Filthy Facts.” You can see why the (1. and E.’s never win any games with these two millstones around their necks.

T he T hian(;i.e Sports Department has done the (1. and E.’s a favor by not printing all the details of the games, everyone of which the ('.. and E.’s lost by a terrific score, and what do we get for our kindness. “Notice.” That’s I'orny as Snuffy Smith’s squeez- ens.

We could hardly believe our eyes when we read the notice. W'e ^v■ere hurt to the very quick! The heart strings of the Sports Department were given a mortal tug. To think that after all these years of faithful and unbiased reporting that “ We,” of all people, should be accused of col­oring the facts. A mighty blow has been dealt our moral structure, and I’nj afraid that we shall never recover and be the same normal persons lhat we once were. My old friend C.harles Patrick ('.aulfield had no sooner read this unjust indictment than he was stricken in a fit of epilepsy, and as we carried him to an ambulance, liis only words were, “Oh, if Amy ^vere to find o u t!”

Marsh Austin, the Sports Editor,

when last seen was foaming at the

mouth and threatening to lynch every

C. and E. in school, but upon finding

that that is not legal up here \vent

to confer with the BA 27 class as

to what steps could be taken. Al­

though Marsh and (Charles were in

bad shape, the worst case, by far, u a s

our old friend and buddy, I 'rederic

C-lyni Mallgrave. The sad, sad truth

is Frederic has lost his mental bal­

ance. pitiful, but true. Just yesterday

our F'red was taken home after chas­

ing Margo around the Court for half

an hour and we wouldn’t like to say

what his intentions were, but if you

could have seen that look in his eyes,

you could have had no doubt. All

is being done that is medically pos­

sible, but as one doctor put it us he

shook his head, “ Il shouldn’t happen

to a dog.”

Ever since last Tuesday when the

“ Notice” came out, telegrams and

cables from all points have been jjour-

iug into the office ex|tressing their

deep regret that we should have to be

exposed to such a humiliating out­

burst. We wish at this point to thank

the millions of senders of these mes­

sages and to tell them lhat although

at first we had decided that we would

never, never, never write another

word, we will, because of the over­

whelming demand for our work, con­

sent to carry on for the rest of the

year, and bring lo the students all

the facts as they should be recorded,

and with our own little hands at lhat.

The game started fast, with the

girls al a disadvantage because of no

lacrosse sticks. However they soon

nuide up for this by using their base­

ball bats lo good effect. ANNOUNCE-

M ENT: Penn drops lacrosse. M. Ben­

ton was the gal who did mosi of the

damage with the bat for Urexel. She’s

m arried and used to clubbing her man.

Terry Engle lured the Penn boys

lo her by doing a hula-hula dance in

a grass skirl, then clubbed them with

the bal. The referee did not like this

so Terry was kicked oul of the game.

After the game the girls, led by

Captain Belly Crap, went down to the

Harden’s Gun Ends the Fun Pi Caps Run

With the final blast of Irv Harden’s tommy gun, the famous Tke-Pi Kap feud came lo an end last night at 11:58. The whole thing started yes­terday afternoon when the two frals gathered to have a friendly game of ball.

At the very outset of the game it was apparent lhat things were draw'ing to a head for the final showdown. Inning by inning the situation grew tenser. Both the Pi Kap’s and the Tkes were taking every chance to get in a low blow' on the other. The Pi K ap’s got off lo an early lead when with two on, a “ fifth columnist” in the Tke left field took a hit by Dick Miller and threw il over the fence for a home run, and gave the Pi K ap’s a Ihree-run lead. The Tkes evened up in the fourth with four men on when George Mable Francis swallow'ed Irv Harden’s line drive, and before the Ex Lax had lime to work Irv had managed (with a three- man bodyguard) to get around the bases for a home run.

to you , Am eThe spark lhat set off the gun­

powder came in the seventh inning when a hit by Horsecollar MacMillen went through Pete Hallis who was playing Jacks with Lewis Priscilla Greene, for a home run to clear the loaded bases and win the game. The Tkes claimed sabotage. Bob Pearson slapped Dick Coffey’s face and that started il.

Both sides ran over to the club house (don’t ask us where it is) and got their machine guns, hand gren­ades, slink bombs, knives, and propa­ganda leaflets to start what was to t iyn peaceful majestic Drexel Field into a hell on earth. The Tkes took the offensive and attacked the Pi Kap’s who dug in behind the grandstands. The first victim of the Tke offensive was Lew Greene, who was hit on the head by a propaganda leaflet and never regained consciousness. After the Tkes had sent in three waves of their cracked-up troops the P i Kap’s decided lo make a run for il, but the Tkes were not lo be denied. Jimmy Buroneii, who was racing across the field with a quart of the Green Tree’s P. and T. in his hand, was killed when Pete Hallas threw a hand grenade in his back pocket.

With all of the Pi Kup’s and Tkes cleaned up except Francis and H ar­den (and nobody could clean them up) the feud became a case of u war of nerves. Both men were w'ounded

badly and blood flowed freely. H ar ­

den finally caught Francis while he

was lighting matches lo loot the

bodies of the dead and wounded.

Upon seeing that he was trapped,

t rancis started lo cry and begged Irv

for mercy, saying, “Irv! Irv! Irv!

Don’t shoot! Think of my mother!

Think of my father! Think of your

‘J7 dollars!” Irv, not to be moved,

pressed his trigger and ended Ihe life

of Ihe worst blight since the seven- yeur locust.

Tension is running high on this,

the eve of Freakness Day, and rumors

are flying thick and fast as to the pos­

sible track strategy of the entries.

Speculation and belling have heen

so high this past week that the gov­

ernm ent has had to step in to prevent

inflation from taking a hand. Bookies

Gould and Stevens are taking all

wagers in their den in the cellar of

the M. E. Department, and in a spe­

cial bulletin to K P reported that Man

O Dowell is a slight favorite in bet­

ting to date, but Sugar Buddy and

Gallant Whitestone of the Bus Ads

stable are also heavily backed. Ttiere

is a possibility that Lady Hackman

may be scratched because she has

to m ark his accounting test.

All entries will spend a quiet live­

ning at the Green Tree Tavern to­

night in preparation for the big race.

In a statement to your reporter Man

O Dowell of the M.E. stables ^aid,

“I may not look like I can run. but

Oh, you kid.” Sugar Buddy was

quoted as saying, “I feel that I cannot

lose since I have the faith and all the

N.Y.A. money of my BA 27 class be­

h ind me.” Youcanhave MucMiillin
