The CRIMSON, following the example set by a neighboring boys' school, yesterday tore up the one-week trial contract of its new football prognosticator Gonfalon B. Mud and decided to grant the Kansas pollster an unprecedent's 10-year contract.

"It's wonderful," President Douglas Fouquet '51 said last night, "Not only did Mr. Mud pick the winning team last week, but he even predicted the correct score for Brown. We are anxious to retain him."

Ever since Hu Flung Huey ocC resigned on October 23 after predicting correctly but one of his last 12 tries, the CRIMSON has been seeking a forecaster who could predict games correctly. But the man who in 1936 predicted a landslide victory for Landon, successfully forecast a Harvard victory over Brown last week.

But from Mud's Cross-Section, Kansas headquarters came disturbing news. It was reported there last night that Mud had embarked on a serious drinking binge. Local residents said they had seen Mud heading for a bar, muttering that Saturday's Harvard victory had shattered his reputation and that he might have to change his name.
