Harvard Man Returns to Boston

Ulyssos John Lupien, Jr. '39, Harvard's answer to Moe Berg, had a chance to revisit Cambridge yesterday, but even that academic inspiration proved incapable of preventing his floundering Chicago team from being whitewashed by the Boston Red Sox.

Captain of the Crimson nine in 1938, Lupien, who masquerades under the handle of Tony, hurriedly packed his cap and gown after graduation and moved over to Fenway Park to cover first base for the Red Sox.

After a five-year hegira in both leagues, Lupien was deported to the Pacific Coast League in 1944. Apparently finding the 3000 mile distance from the Hub of the Universe somewhat depressing, he proceeded to confuse the opposition hurlers by speaking grammatically correct English and hitting the ball where there was an absence of outfielders.

He batted .341, knocked in 110 runs, and was voted most valuable player in the league last year.

Although he feels that it is only a mediocre substitute for Harvard, Lupien plans to rent a house off the Northwestern campus this summer in order: to "catch up on some culture."
