There was nothing else very surprising about Yale's large margin of victory, although the vaunted Bulldogs' point total was their highest against a Crimson eleven since 1884. Harvard bounced back the next year, in 1953, however, and surprised an equally respected Yale team, 13 to 0.

The rally, to cheer the varsity football team on to victory over the Elis, will start about 6:45 p.m., when the team finishes its final home practice session. Highlighting the cheering will be the Band, which will play its repertoire of Harvard fight songs...
