Ninety Harvard Undergraduates Taken to Brattle Sq. Police Station After Subway Riot--One Student Held at Central Sq.

Approximately 90 Harvard undergraduates were transferred from a subway car into the Brattle Square Police Station's black maria in the Harvard Square car-yard last night, after an alleged wholesale braking of windows, smashing of lights, and pulling of safety signals. After all their names had been registered at the station by Sergeant O'Neill, the men were released.

In a preliminary affray, which took place at the Central Square Station, a Harvard sophomore was arrested and taken to the Central Square Headquarters charged with disturbing the peace. At 1.30 o'clock last night, friends of the prisoner were trying to raise bail to keep him from passing the night in a cell.

According to officials who coralled the small army of alleged disturbers of the peace, the damage was confined to the front car of a subway train bearing hockey crowds, which had boarded the cars at Park Street Under. Much of the damaged occurred before the train arrived in Central Square, and police and railroad men were consequently on hand at Harvard Square when the train drew in.

Only the women, children, and persons obviously unconnected with the "riot" were released from the battle-scarred car, and the train proceeded to the car-barn, where reserves from the Brattle Square Station were ready to escort the Harvard students to headquarters.

It could not be ascertained last night what action would be taken against the alleged window and light smashers, but it is hardly to be expected that the operators of the subway will not seek some satisfaction for the damage suffered by their property.
