Oriental Sage Resigns Post

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

After sustaining his longest losing streak in over 21 seasons of football forecasting, Hu Flung Huey ocC "resigned" Sunday afternoon as Chief Sage for the CRIMSON.

High executives said last night that Dr. Huey obviously needed to renew his contact with the mysterious Eat. He will return to his mountain monastery in the trackless wastes of Inner Mongolia for further inculcation with the occult secrets of prognostication.

"We really knew the Sage was slipping when he predicted Harvard would beat Army 17 to 5," said Peter B. Taub '51 sports editor, last night. "It was the worst miss in his history."

Dr. Huey joined the paper in the fall of 1929, after the former prognosticatory expert, Joe Forecast, had quit to get married. Huey's first season was an auspicious one, for he was correct on three out of four predictions. It was only in the past few years that the Sage began to loss his occult powers. Last season he missed on eight out of nine predictions.

The CRIMSON has not yet hired a new forecaster. But Douglas M. Fouquet '51, president of the paper, said last night, "we are scoring the far corners of the globe for a new man. We will have a Seer in time for the Dartmouth game."
