To The Editor of the CRIMSON:

My attention has been called to an editorial in your issue of November 19, entitled "Ending With a Kiss," in which you attribute to Loomis the honor of having been Jeanne d'Arc'd to victory over the behemoths of Deerfield by the promises of Miss Bette Davis. True, we did recently manage to defeat Deerfield in football; but unless the boys who managed to bring about the victory have been holding out on me, Miss Davis had nothing to do with the game's outcome. As evidence, I bring forward the fact that three of our four most effective backs are notoriously girl-shy, and that one of the three scored four touchdowns and fumbled not once all afternoon. Had even the generous lady's name been whispered in the dressing-room, I feel certain that his legs would have lagged into the line and his nervousness have translated itself into fumbles; neither trouble appeared.

Rumor has reached me that the osculatory bribe was used to inspire a Cushing Academy team before its game with Deerfield. I am told that Miss Davis is an alumna of that institution, which fact alleviates somewhat the reprobation. If my information is correct, you underrate Miss Davis's charms; Cushing won the game 34-0. Sidney L. Eaton,

Secretary of the Loomis Alumni Association.
