Cadet Corps and Band Snub Cambridge for Second Year

With Crimson football tides continuing at a low ebb, both the Cadet Corps and the Cadet Band will be absent from the Harvard-Army game for the second consecutive year.

Until last year, the Cadets traditionally attended the affair. In 1945, when the Crimson suffered a 54 to 14 defeat at the hands of the West Pointers, the Corps and the Band were present.

The Cadet Corps, composed of some 340 first-classmen, opened the pre-game proceedings by marching on Soldiers Field.

Last year, when Army inflicted a 49 to 0 defeat in the Crimson, both the Cadet Corps and the 50-man Band were conspioulously absent. With five games on the road, the itinerary of the Band and the Corps pointedly excluded Cambridge.

About 100 West Pointers were present, most of them from the debating team and the 90-man Glee Club. The Harvard Band, in order to return the snub, greeted the absence of the Army Band with a huge question mark. The Band also executed a parody on the practice of unlimited substitution in football.
