Four years ago a passer-by along the shores of the New Jersey's Raritan River would have seen two crews racing down the Herley course against each other.

...then last Saturday in New York President Benchley of the Lampoon was handed the sacred object by a CRIMSON editor who felt like those other CRIMSON men when they lent Lampy the punchbowl. Unfortunately this funniest of the funnymen let the Ibis slip through his fingers and arrived once more in Cambridge with nothing but an old towel receptacle in place of his beloved Ibis.
