Jon Wefald, a former Minnesota agriculture commissioner, urged the protesters: "Do like the sheiks did with the oil. One day they sat down and said: 'It's all over, boys.

This march was the first of three in the opening half, when Harvard's offensive line treated the Dartmouths with Rodney Dangerfield-like respect. In other words, with none.
