NEW LOSS FOR HARVARD--MIKE TAKES A SABBATICAL

Harvard men have borne up bravely under the news of various faculty losses this year, but the news that Mike, the famous Mike of the tattered Crimson flag and Crimson sweater, is to take a sabbatical year in Ireland came last night as a distinct shock.

Those who are pulling for a reversal of football fortunes under the Fisher-Daly regime cannot but realize that the absence of Mike will mean the absence of one of the most distinctive features of Harvard cheering and the loss of an unfailing champion against the bugaboo of Harvard indifference.
