CAMBRIDGE, Mass, April 24,- Rolling an undressed peanut with a needle over an eighth of a mile, while clad in a tight fitting hobble skirt, a close fitting waist, with large picture hat and high heeled shoes, was feat performed today by Hunter McGuire Cf New York, he big Harvard football guard. It
 was performed with considerable diff ficulty and many annoyances.
 Mcclure is candidate for the Institute of ITO Club at Harvard and this was one of the many initia- ton stunts. Another feat which at ! tracted much attention was the eff fort of another candidate to measure
 a given distance by using a live eel as tape measure
 Killing a boiled egg up hill. meas uring distances with bananas and loaf of sugar were other stunts. One candidate nearly started a riot by asking a saleswoman in a periodical store the measurement of her calf.
