Pre-Game Rally Will Begin 7 p.m. Tonight

Police Chief Matthew J. Toohey repeated yesterday that he expected no trouble at tonight's pre-Yale game rally, the first since 1950. Toohey has granted the band a marching permit outside the Yard on the basis of good behavior so far this year. Four Yale games ago the Chief granted a similar permit which led to one of the worst riots in College history.

Tonight's rally begins at 7 p.m. next to John Harvard's statue in front of University Hall. Led by the band, undergraduates will march aground the Houses and back to the Yard for cheers on Widener's steps. The freshman glee club will sing.
