Before 1200 enthusiastic undergraduates at last night's pre-game rally, Coach Dick Harlow not only solicited sideline support but injected a shot of confidence in his underdog eleven by reminding them that their pigskin predecessors in 1937 ran the high-riding Princeton Tiger into the dirt with a savagery that made them forget they were supposed to lose.
In reminiscing, Harlow observed:
