Hilarity and good fun, and lots of
it, are in store Nov. 24 when the
famed Quiz Kids meet five prominent
faculty men who have accepted their
challenge to match wits with them.
Prof. John L. Brumm of the jour-
nalism department will serve as mas-
ter-of-ceremonies.

the worst fkom their mentors, for this
will not be the first time that the
,Quiz Kids *have challenged their eld-
ers and beaten them decisively.
Touted brains of the University of
Chicago faculty were pitted against
the youthful brains of the Kids and

points to 140.

came to Mandel Hall to see the profs
showed up by the Kids."
The stately professors wore black
caps and gowns, and later on, some
red blushes. Is the same in store for

iuses." Their "anchor man" is Ger-
ard Darrow, age 8, who answers, it'
is said, questions on ornithology, biol-
ogy and mythology, one after the
other, slap-bang.

the University of Chicago.
