"I got it straight from the batboy," declared Elmer Green, Lampoon Janitor, last night. "The CRIMSON ought to take my boys by at least 23 to 2."

Heartened by a favorable pre-game prognostication, the CRIMSON nine yesterday wound up a lengthy training session with plenty of spirits. Confidence was rampant in the palatial Plympton Street fieldhouse. "I know we can!" shrieked the team in unison.

Lampy Has Tight Infield

"Certainly you will," called the Ibis calmly from his high perch over Mt. Auburn Street, "the Lampoon never makes a hit anywhere."

Because the event is the forty-fifth in the ancient CRIMSON-Lampoon series, special arrangements have been consummated to allow eager undergraduates to attend the contest. Simply arrive at Soldiers Field at 3:30 o'clock.

"23 to 2," Says Conant

Although the event will be celebrated in costume, the 'Pooners have been warned to leave female attire and hoops at home. This means you, Peg.

The CRIMSON en masse will call for the Lampoon en messe at precisely 2:30 o'clock this afternoon in the most luxurious conveyance ever to run to Soldiers Field. Featuring a 7-piece band led by Stanley Brown (of the Crimsonians) and a well-appointed bar the vehicle is expected to hold 60 men with ease.
