Crusaders Pose Crucial Test for Crimson Today

There were no riots last night, but one thousand dead-sober sons of Harvard did everything else the occasion called for, as they invoked the aid of the football gods for a win over Holy Cross in the season's second major football rally last night.

Led by the band, which the New Yorker called "the best in the country," the rally made the usual parade through Cambridge, ending at the steps of the Indoor Athletic Building. There they heard Freshman Coach Henry Lamar, Torby MacDonald, and members of the team urge them "to come out and cheer hard tomorrow." They also heard the band give encore after encore to the accompaniment of long and thunderous applause.

The local gendarmerie declared the occasion "a quiet one."
