Winners Rave as Rules Changed ★ ★ ★ ★ Mr. Hush Identity Revealed
Tomorrow morning the world will discover the identity of Wampus magazine's Mr. Hush.
Up until last night no one had won the trillion dollars in prizes which will be awarded to the lucky person guessing whose picture will appear on the cover of the SC humor magazine when it goes on sale tomorrow. Several persons had submitted the correct answer, but unfortunately it was necessary to disqualify their entries because of new rules which the judges found it advisable to devise last night.
Prizes offered range from the Queen Mary to 30.000 rubles (de-flatee) worth of borscht and include Tommy Trojan's sword, the clock in Mudd tower, and the public address system In Bovard auditorium
Here s the last chance. A few important hints are subtly hidden in the following poem. Who is Mr. Hush? See the Wampus tomorrow.
The tint of his nose would suggest he’s a dipso.
But the carols he sings ain’t exactly Calypso.
While the growth on his ohin is a good soup collector.
It could stand an encounter with a push-pull injector.
He spends Chr.stmas eve running ’round with a bag.
By the time morning comes, he’s beginning to drag.
To be sure that the answers don’t entirely swamp us.
Each guess must accompany 10 issues of Wampus.

Students Rush Ticket Vendors For Bowl Bids
More than 2200 exchange ticket* for the New Year's Rose Bowl football contest were sold to two lines of patient Trojan rooters before the ticket offices in front of Bovard auditorium were closed yesterday. John Morley, ticket manager, announced.
The booths will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 pjn. today and tomorrow to accommodate holders of student-activity books, and if necessary will open Friday.
LINES TOMORROW
Most rooters, although told it would not be necessary to form lines for tlie tickets now being sold, were either in line yesterday or were planning to join the columns today or tomorrow after unfounded rumors had been spiead that there were not enough tickets to go around.
“I hate lines, but that seems to be the only way to see the Michigan game.” said John ‘Red” Quinn ui summing up the views of fellow waiters.
NOT THIS TIME
Patricia Davis, freshman, brought out another side of the argument when she said, “We had to sit in the ‘special’ end-zone seats at the Notre Dame game and we don’t want U> have that luck again. If they don’t sell rooters’ seats out from under us, we’ll at least be able to see the players.”
“Do you think we'll get so the
head of the line before game time?” asked one pessimistic student to his pal.
“Gosh I hope so.” replied the pal. “Should have brought my razor along though; be needing another shave pretty soon. ’
WASN’T LONG Pretty Pat Pollack took a more optimistic point of view. There she stood near the end of the line, Jovial, carefree, greeting a friend aa he passed by on his way to class, and then again as he passed by after a three-hour lab course.
