MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT: On November 17 at the executive dinner for Cambridge's Only Breakfast Table Daily, drank 14 Hoosier specials en route to a record-shattering performance for alcohol consumption. Dake, by his own admission, had little intention of making a bid to shatter the World Hoosier special record, but "I just got to that fifth round, and I couldn't stop. I got to singing the Notro Dame fight song and right in the middle of maitre Jacques I got up and started that famous Notre Dame marching step on top of the tables. I marched from patron to patron, took a right onto the sit-down bar, leaped over to the bandstand and did a rendition of "Yes Sir, That's say (Hoosier) Baby. Everybody really dug it." The performance, which won him an invitation to Ted Mack's Original Amateur Hour and an honorary membership to the Adams House Folklore Colloquium, was panned back at the Breakfast Table Daily headquarters, an folks got to wondering where the hell "Ole Deac" was. You see it was getting late and the Crime was wondering whether or not he was going to come through with a place that was necessary for the next day's paper. Phoned at Maitre Jacques, Deae mumbled "I-I-I'll be there in just a minute." He never showed.
