I came up here and some guy with a mustache, I think his name is Dewey Thomas, asked me to campaign with him for some kind of job which would get him a very influential job in some white house. But since our boys played such a fine game last week end I thought I’d stick with them. The first thing I noticed when I got here was the shiny Pensodent smiles all the font ball players displayed. You could single each plavor out from the rest of the students bv his smile. I understand instead of pay ing their players or giving them scholarships thev receive a life-time suoplv of Colgate tnothnaste and that accounts for it. The team up here has been below par for the last two sea sons. I read the following in the student newspaper: “To the editor: Something has to be done here. We can’t afford another dreadful foot ball season. Boon celebrities ■"'ill be refusing our honorable degrees.” There’s a blonde banding out free samnles of Colgate toothpaste I’d better get «ome. (I don’t like the stuff but, oh, that blonde') For the o, erv THE LION.
