...that bunch of hoodlums, skunks and what not, who delight in razzing Harvard at every step, the less paper wasted on them the better. Perhaps some day the Harvard cheering section will get kind of peeved, peel off their coats, roll up their sleeves and march over to those wooden stands and settle once and for all the question as to whose Stadium this is anyway.
