Lucre-Lured Student Guzzles Seven Quarts of Beer in Afternoon Spree

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

"Just working my way through College," William Gold '49 winked yesterday, as he downed his fifth quart of beer in two hours.

Seems that Gold and his friend John R. Hutchison, Jr. '47 were bot to the tune of $15 that they couldn't drink seven quarts for beer in seven hours. Only condition of the "sporting preposition" was that the brew would have to stay down until all seven quarts were consumed.

Hutchison began his ordeal by hops Monday afternoon at 1 o'clock. At 5:15 o'clock, finishing his fifth quart, he told admirers he was feeling marvelous. At 5:20 o'clock, finding himself unable to fulfill the conditions of the bet, he tactfully withdrew.

Gold wet his lips at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and at precisely 7:25 o'clock emptied his seventh bottle.
