'Poon Entices 55 Beauties To Vie at Pudding Tonight

In spite of early season difficulties, Lampy is slated to hold the preliminary round of his much-talked-about beauty contest with Billy Rose this evening at 8 o'clock in the Hasty Pudding. Apparently the men from the Bow Street rookery had overcome such initial points of resistance as Smith, Wellesley, and Radcliffe in their month-old search for college beauties.

The engineer in charge of the Poon's annual publicity drive could not be reached for comment last night, and the number, names, and measurements of any of the entrants could not be ascertained. Rumors seeping out between the tiles of the decaying 'Poon building, however, have it that a well-rounded 55 girls will be there tonight.
