Take Ny Word for 1t
BY Fronk Colby
The Whifenpoof Song.

Every one is asking. What Is
Whiffenpoof?" Now you shall know
the true origin of the word and Of
the Whiffenpoof Song. This article
is based on information given me
by the News Bureau at Yale Uni
versity.
During the winter term of 1909, q
singing club was formed at Yale. the
purpose being to meet regularly for
food, drinks and song at Mory's
Temple Bar, in New Haven.
The club was called THE Whit
fenpoofs," from fish story told by
Joe Cawthorn, popular comedian In
the musical show, Little Memo"
Cawthorn told of capturing Whit
fenpoof, fabulous but undescribed
creature. by boring a hole in the
lake and putting cheese around the
hole. When the Whiffenpoof came
up the hole, he whitfield the cheese,
gave a loud p-o-o-f! and was
caught
The name Whiffenpoofs for the
club was considered appropriate,
for, it was explained, 1--WE too can
be led on by food and drink to
squawk" The anthem. the Whiffen-
poof Song, was adapted from Kip
ling's poem, Gentlemen Rankers."
The music was composed by Tod
Galloway. Amherst '85, later judge
of the Probate Court Of Franklin
County, Ohio.
In the chorus, gentlemen rank
ers" was changed to gentlemen
songsters" In the popular versian
which is now being widely heard on
the radio, several other changes In
wording have been made so as to
meet certain restrictions which are
imposed by the networks.
Kipling's poem is a satire on the
caste system OF the British Army
which does not admit rankers
commissioned officers promoted
from the ranks to the status of
gentlemen"

Chile Rejects Protests
On Base in Antarctic
BY ths Assoeiofed Press

SANTIAGO, Chile, Feb. 13.-Chile
made public today notes showing
that she has rejected British pro-
tests against Chilean land claims
in the Antartic.
The Foreign Ministry published
notes exchanged between the two
nations after Chile established a
base at Greenwich Island, about
800 miles below the southern tip
Of Chile. ~z
According to the notes. Britain
made two suggestions: That Chile
ask for lease, or that she agree
to submit the claim to an inter-
national court. Otherwise Britain
| will ask Chile to withdraw from
the base.
Chile will do neither, the notes
said. The government regards the
land in question and the new base
named Bernardo OHiggins, as
Chilean territory. Both British sug-
gestions were rejected.
