...Harvard team will be abandoned by the College merely because it has begun a season in an unfortunate way. On Saturday there will be a parade to the field behind a band, and the Dartmouth game will be played to the accompaniment of a cheering section of pre-war volume. With adequate outside support, the prime essential hitherto lacking this year, the minor problems of the ball team will fade into oblivion...
