"Float like a butterfly," it said. "Sting like a bee."

The irate News editors agreed to a settlement out of court.

The game was played at Yale last year, to it was Harvard's turn to play joker. Their plan was the most ambitious yet.

Harvard's newsman responded to the challenger with the story shout a doned stadium. Yale, they said, had announced plans to build a new domes stadium in the middle of a ghetto area of New Haven. In order to pacify an angry community, the Yale administration had agreed to convert Yale Bowl into low cost housing and guaranteed that five places in each entering class would be reserved for members of the community.

The story was impressive in its preciseness. The Crimson persuaded a friendly architect to draw up plans for both the Yale astrodome and the luxurious Bowl Apartments--which would feature the "Adobe Look."

And there was more. In 1971, the Crimson had converted from linetype production to offset, which was the set-up the News had been using.

In the offset process printing is done from a photographic plate. The Crimson not only printed copies of the Daily News Extra, but also brought the photographic plate with them on their Friday night ride to New Haven.

Their plan was dangerous they were going to kidnap the Daily News man on his way to the printer and substitute the take front page for the real article.

In order to carry out their friendish plan, the Crimsons pointed two-guards outside the News building to survey what was going on there. In the meantime, the two carloads of staffers made their way to Hamden. Conn home of the printer, for the long night of waiting.

The two cars situated themselves near pay phones. According to the plan, the sentries would call their colleagues when the Yale staffer left his office.

It didn't work out. The two carloads of folks just can there and waited. And waited. And waited.

Their toper was interrupted occasionally by a phone call from their boys at the News informing then that "the guy hasn't left yet." They were also interrupted by a policeman who asked them what they were doing in the middle of town at 3:30 a.m. "We're covering the Yale game for a newspaper. We're expecting a phone call with some information we need on the story." The policeman was satisfied, and lent one of the surreptitious scribes a cigarette.

One reporter headed back to the Daily to find out what was going on. He was stopped for a burned-out tall light.

And they kept waiting till the sun came up. And they waited some more. Daily News inefficiency had failed their plan. They couldn't carry it out in brond day light.

Dencon Dake '73 gave the Crimson one last hope. "We'll go into the printers about ten minutes after their guy leaves and tell him to stop the presses for our new scoop."

This didn't work out other. You I talked to a lot of nice people, including a Daily News staffer and a prospective advertiser.

Thus failed all across the board, the editors began distributing the extra at 9 a.m. At about 10. I fell into a friend's room, asking only for found, a warm however and a place to rest my based.

"Oh, hi E. J.," he said. "I knew you were here. I saw your domed stadium issue.

You can't fool all of the people all of the time.
