Delayed when one of the Yale players who was hitch-hiking to Cambridge hurt his thumb on a telegraph pole, the annual Crimson-and-Blue tiddledy-winks contest got under way yesterday afternoon in the Tiddley-winks Room at the Indoor Athletic Building.

Following the matches, which were closely played and in which Ken I. Scutemin, belived to be a Yale ringer imported from Princeton was the winner, the Harvard captain announced he would place a petition asking that the sport be made a major.
