Chivalrous Squirrel Protects Maidens, Routs Salesman

A Yard squirrel came to the aid of three damsels in distress yesterday morning, when he ran up a laundry salesman's pant leg.

In their first stroll across Harvard Yard, a small group of Radcliffe freshmen were accosted in front of Holworthy Hall by Charles N. Foster '42, super-salesman for a local firm. Resisting his initial offer, they were beginning to back away from a second barrage of high-pressure salesmanship when the indignant squirred shot up the left half of Foster's trousers.

As the angry rodent sealed his vertebrae, the frightened laundryman stripped off his coat and was starting on his shirt when the squirrel shot out of his slcove. When he had recovered his composure, the Radcliffe prospects were far in the distance.
