Instead of the usual rally, more will be made this year of the final open practice session of the team in the Stadium Thursday afternoon, Youngman announced. The Harvard band will march through the dormitory district gathering supporters on its way to Soldiers Field, where the procession will go into the Stadium to watch the team go through its final practice in Cambridge. Cheer leaders will be on hand, and there will be ample opportunity for the College to show its support, which was the purpose of the rallies at the Union. It was felt that the rallies...
Fall rowing this year occupied a shorter time than usual.

The same policy of mingling University squad men and class crew, inaugurated by Coach E. J. Brown '96 in the fall of 1926, prevailed; the only differentiation made being that of weight.

Such a substantial increase over the free for all admission obtaining during its New York, appearance, reverses the usual custom followed by the Metropolitan show company on tour, but it is to be doubted if the rumored twenty five dollar admission to Mr. Ziegfield's "Whoopee" will be raised in accordance with this precedent when it is necessary for it to take the road...
