Off-hand, we'd say "The Game as Seen by the CRIMSON" and "General Information for Yale Visitors" were the funniest things in the book, but the laugh limit is by no means two.

On Saturday there will be a parade to the field behind a band, and the Dartmouth game will be played to the accompaniment of a cheering section of pre-war volume. With adequate outside support, the prime essential hitherto lacking this year, the minor problems of the ball team will fade into oblivion...
