The woman's leg and the bright blue garter that vanished from Kirkland House last October were returned yesterday to their rightful owners, Joel Rome '51 and Stuart Falk '51.
Rome and Falk have been looking for the leg, a wooden shoe-maker's model, since the Dartmouth weekend. At that time the trophy was stolen from their Kirkland H-33 suite, and the two guessed that some light-fingered Dartmouths had done the deed.
They reported the robbery to police, claiming that the leg was worth $20 and had been borrowed, and that the garter had "sentimental value." They printed a letter in The Dartmouth, asking for its return, but it never showed up.
Yesterday a maid found the leg stashed away in a student's room in Kirkland. She told Rome and he reclaimed his booty.
The whole incident had been carried on UP and INS wires and reported in papers as far as Los Angeles. Rome and Falk received several letters about it all.
One was from Racine, Wisconsin, and said, "I know a girl in New York who had a wooden leg, but wouldn't wear it. Is it possible that you have gotten hers?"
JOEL ROME '51 brandishes a woman's leg. The stocking is of sheer silk and medium length, size nine. The leg lost Rome during the Dartmouth game and just got back.
