Crimson Reporter Learns Skunks Not Lions Were Bag of C. J. Hubbard on Trip to Portuguese East Africa

Skunks not lions were the bag of C. J. Hubbard '24. Captain of last year's University football team and First Marshall of his class, who has just returned to college after a summer spent travelling to Portuguese East Africa and return.

"Tell the CRIMSON that I was not forced to climb a tree by either two or any number of lions, and that I did manage to reach my brother," he said when questioned yesterday.

Although denying emphatically any such exciting and adventurous experiences as the CRIMSON reported him to have had he did admit under pressure to having hunted for five days in company with his brother during which time he "saw" a lion, and shot a few African bush animals of the same genus as the American skunk.

Hubbard arrived in New York last week on the Homeric. He had expected to be back at college by the beginning of October in order to join the football coaching staff but delays in his rail trip back to Cape Town from Portuguese East Africa held him up. He stated that the transportation from Cape Town up the East Coast, a distance of 2000 miles, was so slow and primitively organized as to preclude his remaining with his brother more than a week. The rest of the summer was spent on route.

When questioned as to has opinion of the University football prospects he refused to comment, declaring that his only view of the team in action had been materially handicapped by one of the posts in the colonnade last Saturday.

Hubbard is finishing his course in the Engineering School this year. Together with this schedule he has combined several courses in the Business School. He is now a proctor in James Smith Hall.
