D.C/s Diogenes Searching For Honest Bettor To Follow the Horses As Proxy
Along with the Hurricane’s regular Christinas mail came a strictly business letter from a Washingtonian named Klopp. The contents left the Hurricane bewildered. Maybe the University of Miami has a rep for being strictly honest. Maybe the writer is a fugitive from an institution. And maybe he has a good idea.
This gentleman has a strange^* request to make, at least it was strange to the recipients. He’s in search of an honest, yeah very honest, reliable person to make bets for him at the race tracks every day. Why the BSU, MSO, and APO were overlooked in favor of the Hurricane is a mystery.
The proposition is this: The Klopp is to furnish the capital, pins sufficient extra to cover telegrams and incidental expenses.
Each day the reliable soul will receive a wire from Washington giving Instructions for tbe day’s selections. Faithfully the proxy must wire the dally results. Mr. K., of course, will advance the working capital. If tilings go all right the local man will receive ten percent of the winnings. In an extremely understanding postscript the Writer explained that be would allow
for margin of error and “human frailties, of course.”
. More than one student who saw the letter licked his chops. Ed Patton, president of sophomore class and track employee, was given priority rights on the job. His interest in the scheme was squelched by parental objections. So the Hurricane is still looking for someone to recommend to Mr. Klopp. The last word tbe Hurricane received on the matter is “Barkas is willing.”
The Hurricane has renounced all responsibility for this get-rich-quick scheme; and, although it extends good wishes for success to the one who gets the job, will have nothing to do with starting anyone in a life of sin. The affair is squarely on the shoulders of the honest, very honest, yet-to-be-found student.
