Our anticipated pleasure of meeting the Advocate and the Lampoon on the foot-ball field must be foregone. Our challenge has not been accepted. We did not expect that the staid elderly matron - the Advocate - would show the white feather. Black accords with your age and sombre disposition, respected maid of Harvard. Do not shock our taste by wearing white. As your formal edict has gone forth, declining the contest, please accept our hopes that you enjoyed your Thanksgiving dinner, and that many more are in store for you. We can understand why Lampy. displayed his discretion, rather than his valor, for we caused such a commotion a short time ago by striking out apres Lampy that the heart of the college joker still trembles. Well Lampy, seek consolation from your pipes and cigarettes, and thank heaven for your prudence, for if the mere mention on paper that we were after you caused such commotion, what would happen if our foot-ball captain should cry to his rushers on the field of battle, "apres Lampy"!
