See College to Show Slides Dr. Clarence S. Anderson Slap-Happy Competition Hits Harvard It was flappers ,in the 19205, but it's slappers now. At least it's the newest—and oddest—colleg late competition at Harvard since the goldfish swallowing contests. Two sophomores at that college have just completed a non-stop slapping session in which they slapped each other every ten sec onds for 48 hours and ten sec onds, according to a United Press report. The final score—a stinging vic tory—broke a Russian record of 17,280 slaps by one, and• won for the two $l2B - from fellow Stu- I dents who stood by through the two days to clock them and cheer them on. As the 17 . ,2815t slap landed on the red-eyed and red faced victors over communism ending their marathon, the men flopped, exhausted, into bed. The slappers had sat opposite each other resting aching arms on pillows, and stroked away at 360 slaps an hour. Eating bana nas, drinking orange juice and black coffee between slaps, they had managed to keep awa k e, while hot jazz records blared in their room. Seconds massaged their tired necks and fed the m, cheering them on to a crimson Harvard victory over Stalin's Reds. The men had' faced up to the rivalry after hearing that two unidentified Russians had estab lished a slapping record of 17,280 slaps in 48 hours.
