Smashing the record of Lothrop Withington, Jr. '42, Frank Pope, a Junior at Franklin and Marshall College, swallowed three live goldfish today to take the intercollegiate championship.
"I did it to show up those Harvard bums and sissies," Pope said after he had copped the title.
When asked if he would try to regain his lost laurels, Withington said, "I'm not up to swallowing any more of those things. In the first place, I got entirely too many complaints; and in the second place, I think Harvard can do much better things than swallow live goldfish. I'm going to try studying now."
The former champ went on to say that there isn't anything so difficult about eating live fish. "It's just a question of mind over matter," he said. "I don't mind, and the fish doesn't matter!"
