Yesterday afternoon, Merrill Field witnessed one of the most terrible battles of the season when Arthur Hill ' s two star teams of coach hounds met in one of the most exciting sucker eat- ing contests of the year. Captain Fredericks of the Low- hungs had the highest average of the day, with no less than 14 chocolate all-day suckers, which most experts agree present the greatest difficulty to the intediod mechanism of the eater, in less than twelve minutes. Captain Fredericks really had fifteen to his credit, but he swallowed one stick and all, which disqualified the round. In addition to this, he had fourteen lemon, and one gooseberrj ' . Captain Alderton of the Never- baths came next with 12 choco- late, 18 loganberry, and 4 pepper- mint. Captain Fredericks opened the contest with a rush, destroying the first box of suckers, paper and all, in his haste. Captain Alder- ton ' s side followed. Captain Fred- ericks accidentally bit Mr. Hag- gard as the first round was hand- ed him, but such accidents are looked upon by all true lovers of the sport, as pure nothings. Pound of Franks V. Zorn (entering book store) — Have you ' Lamb ' s Tales ' ? Si. Perkins — This is a book store, not a meat market.

A-A-Ah! It was a leg of rai-e beauty and impressed me with its symmetry of curve and artistic proportions. It seemed as if all the sculptors of ancient Greece had united their art in this masterpiece, with its magnificent, gradual tapering limbs. The spell which its aes- thetic beauty cast over me was rudely broken by the jarring notes of a masculine voice near me: All right, you birds, grab the other leg of this piano and we ' ll get it out of here in a jiflFy. Approaching Danger First Roach (on a Nabisco box) : What in heck is your hur- ry? Second Roach: Don ' t you see that sign, ' Tear along this edge ' ?

Pharoah: I need money! Somebody must cough up! Ameroth: Alas, sire! The coffers are all emptj ' . Heard in Physics Class Mr. Boardman — When two bodies come together with some force is heat generated? Kid Yanachalk — Not always. I hit Battling Goodrow one day, and he knocked me cold. As the tooth paste said to the tooth brush, Pinch me, kid, and I ' ll meet you outside the tube. R. Hart: Yes, I ' m out for track. Pretty Baby: Well, if you stick around with me much I ' ll increase your speed. Art Griggs : Some women are like spaghetti. Gib Smith : How ' s that? Art G. : You think you ' ve got ' em, but they slip away. Meaty Joke Said Carrie Dishes, waitress, to Callous Friskie, Just because you ' re built like a ham, it ' s no sign your swift. V. Way: Wait a minute until I buy a package of ' Elective ' . A. Schmidtke: Package of ' Elective ' ? What do you mean? V. Way: Gum. You don ' t have to take it unless you chews. Say, dot mattress vot you sold me is full of bet bugs. Vel, vot you want for two bucks, canary birds? On a mule we find two legs be- hind; We find two legs before. We swat him behind before we find That the two behind be fore. I think I ' ll drop in on the boys, said the miner as he fell down the shaft.

Laura, queen of the cannibals, had just finished the last juicy morsel of a poet. Your Royal Highness, what epitaph shall we place over his bones? The Queen pondered deeply for a moment; then a roguish smile played around the corners of her mouth. Why not simply say ' Here lies the poet laureate ' ? Thompsons Miss Van Ness — What do we mean when we say the whole is greater than any of its parts? Handsome Harry — A restaur- ant doughnut.
