Quiet Rally Stirs Few Cheers, Fights

The band played, cheerleaders cavorted, and nearly a thousand men, twelve women, and sundry gamins massed before the Blockhouse for a quiet pre-Princeton game rally last night. Amidst a din of cheers, catcalls, and exploding fire-crackers, the throng heard the Crimson's end coach Joe Maras predict that the Harvard team on the field today will be "one of the most spirited and determined ever." Line coach Ted Schmidt asked for "as much support at the game as you're showing tonight."

The usual riot was the usual flop. The presence of a great many policemen and Yard cops proved a definite dampening influence.

Another factor contributing to the apathetic post game riot was a recent warning letter from Dean Bender telling students to avoid riots.
