...violation of taste and public decency. There is obviously heavy drinking in connection with the Pudding running and there is reason to believe that this public display of drinking and its unfortunate results are sanctioned and even encouraged by those managing the initiations.

...Truck" Miller, "Honeyboy" Finnegan, "Newsboy" Brown, "Gloomy Gil" Dobie, Fielding "Hurry-Up Yost, "Cannonball" Crabtree (who will be seen in action when Florida comes to Cambridge a week hence), Paolino Uczudum, the Bounding Basque of the Pyrenees, are some of the more common handles that come to mind.
