Bingham Says Pickpockets Instigate Goal Post Riots

Professional pickpockets started the goal post fight after the Dartmouth game last Saturday and then exploited the confusion to filch four or five watches and as many wallets, sleuth Bill Bingham asserted yesterday.

Warning students to guard their valuables by steering clear of the post-game melee, Bingham argued that roughnecks and "lifters" pretend to assault the goal posts while their fingers steal the silver lining out of Harvard men's pockets.
