This Thursday will mark the 111th celebration of May Day in the United States. Not the festival of May poles and dancing but the holiday of red flags, clenched fists, and the spilled blood of the working class. Some call it International Workers' Holiday, and one labor giant once described May 1 as "labor day for anyone who thinks."

Ravaged by injuries, the Crimson fell victim to three second-half Eli touchdowns en route to a 32-13 thrashing.
