...Living Room of the Union was crowded by about 700 members Saturday afternoon who watched each play of the Harvard-Princeton football contest, from the CRIMSON's direct wire from the Palmer Stadium.

Many important games are scheduled for today, although all are over-shadowed by the Harvard-Princeton contest.

There is little, if any, of the college rowdyism, or "rah rah" spirit at Harvard. And for the majority an intercollegiate football game means something more than an opportunity to give vent to "canned enthusiasm" by wild cheers and drunkenness. It is a clean contest, well and fairly fought, an exhibition of skill, grit, loyalty and team-work, that leaves the spectator with an increased desire to attain those qualities for himself...
