ANDY REVIEWS G00FY’ CONTESTS Episodes of Past Year Come to His Attention (Contributed) ar Mary Ann: Now that we're entering a new year it may not seem outa place to hand you a brief review of some of the “goofy performances” staged during the year or so that just slipped past. The most talked of was the “flag pole sitting” contest in which all the contestant needed was no brains and plenty of ‘em. The bimbo who won parked himself at a dizzy helght on the top of a flag pole and after about 22 days of loafing and not knowing enough to: come in outa the rain slid down to collect the prize. T guess the only reason why he came down wa hecause he'd forgoften whether he s up there to win a fresh air DRt, to get away from hill colicctors. or to avoid paying rent. Then we had Pyle’s “hunion der- hy.” A cross country run in which grown up guys covered more dis- tance than abitious errand hoys and all most of them got outa it was Ve | corns, caltuses, and their second wind. Next came a “rope skippini contest - won by eome galoot in knickers old enough to know better. This lad skipped the rope 15,000 times and was still going strong when the judges took it away frow iim so’s to let some kid havea chance to play with it and before { he became more foolish, if possible. | No sooner was that over when we got the *“dance marathon” craze, or | the “goofy hoofers.” | These lads and lassies were so nicknamed because they danced themselves into exhaustion in an attempt to win fame and not so much fortune. All started with light | hearts and nimble hoofs and those vho didn't fall asleep or collapse in their partner's arms finished witn |light heads and aching hoofs that couldn’t carry them off the floor without help. The only time the | dancers used their noble beans was | when they accidently bumped them | against each other.
