'Legal' Statemen t Issued by Banisters In a desperate effort to quell vicious rumors concerning the in tegrity of the local lawyers, to wit, that because of the rain to day’s softball game with the The tas will be called off, Coach-Cap tain-Pitcher Robert of the law school has issued the following statement: “Rain or shine, fair weather or foul, our ball club will on the morrow meet that of Kappa Al pha Theta”—signed “Goatball'’ Robert. To those who have been won dering about the significance of the title, “Goatball,” it evolved from the revolutionary new type of pitch developed by Robert. Strictly in accord with the reg ulation delivery in all aspects but form, the pitch is designed to fool even the, toughest batter. The ball is controlled entirely by a secret wrist action, and ap proaches the plate in a series of bewildering gyrations and short hops. So today at 2:30 behind Ger linger hall the Thetas will bow in defeat—if the hopes of the law yers are realized. Frosh to Nominate 'Majority' Heads Nominations to "council” of the Majority Class of 1944, will be made Thursday night at 7:30 in Villard hall, according to Chuck Woodruff, president of the class. Six classmen will be elected to the council under a preferential voting plan. The person receiving the most votes will be president, he explained.
