CRIMSON NEWSPAPER CUP TO BE AWARDED IN FALL

The 1927 winner of the CRIMSON'S annual school newspaper trophy will not be announced until next fall, it was made known last night. The total number of competitors for the award this year, over double that of last year, has necessitated a delay, in the final choice of the winner. The contestants have been narrowed to nine, and the winner will be named shortly after the opening of college in the fall.

The contest was held this year on the same basis as that of last year, when the cup was awarded to the Choate News. The judges of the present contest, F. V. Field '27, J. F. Barnes '27, and H. W. Foote Jr. '27, are rating the papers that have been submitted on the basis of their news and editorial columns, the appearance of their make-up, the style of form and head lines, the quality of pictures and illustrations, and the character of the writing. The cup for this year's award is being given by the present Senior Board of the CRIMSON, but the presentation will be made next fall by the officers of the paper in person.

The nine papers which remain in the contest were announced last night as the Mercersburg News, the Choate News, the Hotchkiss Record, the Hill School News, the Taft Papyrus, the Loomis Log, the Riverdale Review, the Exonian, and the Peddie News. Most of the sample issues submitted by these papers were printed at various times during the year. Each of them will be read carefully by all of the judges, rediuked according to the traditional custom of the CRIMSON, and finally judged. With the red-inked papers will be sent critical suggestions by the judges to the editors of each of these nine papers.
