...Crimson horsemen will line up tonight as they have done in all the tournament games so far this season with E. T. Gerry '31 and T. B. Glynn ocC bearing the offensive burden, at their positions of No. 2 and No. 1, while Captain Clark will take his position at back. It was Clark's great individual playing which was the main factor in the P. M. C. victory and Harvard hopes are again pinned on his shoulders tonight.

Perhaps the solution will be in a change in the Criminal Code distinction between felonies and misdemeanors...
