Hip, Hip, Bennies

Jean Mayer, Professor of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health, warned CRIMSON readers on January 14, that the nutritional value of cereals was overrated. On February 7, the first casualty was reported.

Captain Crunch has departed from the CRIMSON sports cube. We shall all treasure the valuable prizes we found amongst the sugar-coated prose. All that remains, perhaps, are some memoirs, such as "What the CRIMSON-Yale-Daily Game Meant to Me."

Yet, there still is hope if some of you have some Trix up your sleeve. The CRIMSON Spring Competition begins next week.

Harvard spring sports offer a little bit for everyone. If you were raised on the sand lot, the baseball team has seven of nine starters returning from a team that finished second in one of the strongest leagues in the country.

If you prefer individual efforts, the Crimson tennis and track teams are challenging for the number one rating in the east. If you'd like to learn a new sport. we can offer you crew and lacrosse.

But the CRIMSON isn't all viewing. At the founder's meeting in 1873, one of the Crimson bylaws read, "... and ye shall strive, with each and every extension of your muscular endeavor, to rejoice in accomplishing 100 undefeated seasons of cricket." The CRIMSON still needs three more perfect softball records to let the original editors' souls rest in peace.

And there's more to come. A free water fountain, plenty of scrap newspaper for your illegal pet's box, phone calls, and a chance for fame, glory, and even attention if you are good enough to make the All-Ivy Sports writing Team.

But most importantly, if you've found yourself tied to your typewriter for school work, escape. Give yourself a break and come away from it all. Extend your personality and come on over to sit behind a CRIMSON typewriter.

If you're rushing down Plympton St. right now, stop. We're in a car on our way to the Penn Palestra to play the Daily Pennsylvanian at halftime of the Harvard basketball game. But come to the introductory meeting at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday. No box tops required.
