"NEW U.S. " SPORT."
Students Eat Fish, Snakes And Gramophone Records. COLLEGES TAKEN BY STORM. (Received 1.30 p.m.) NEW YORK, April 4. A widely-publicised sport evolved at Harvard University has taken United States colleges by storm. A Harvard man swallowed three goldfish alive a fortnight ago, and leading colleges have since vied with one another to improve the record. Several swallowed 20 fish, despite the fate of George Eaab, of Marshall College, who was admitted to hospital with intestinal trouble. After accommodating a mere six fish the present titleliolder, Donald Muleahy, of Roston College, gulped 31 in session. A new field was opened up to-day whori a student ate two gramophone ••ccords, but' John Golf, of the University ■)f Arkansas, retorted by eating alive a litin King snake.
