"A GOOD NAME..."

A taunt and a challenge have been flung at Harvard from somewhere in the middle west. The Grand Rapids Press in a few, simple, pregnant phrases has denounced the University football team as a group of boys whose sole purpose is to bring, money into the Harvard coffers. They enlarge upon this indictment by announcing that the students here have little or no interest in the team. And they end by stating a derogatory hypothetical case which involves the reputation of the Harvard quarterback. These are pretty serious charges; and worse, they have quoted a university official to lend gravity to their assertions.

Fortunately there is offered a rebuttal, but it will require quick action on the part of the student body. In a few weeks the Michigan team plays at the Stadium. If Harvard can only prove to them how loyal it is to the football squad, all will be well. The guns of Grand Rapids will be silenced. But a convincing proof will require work. It will mean cheering practices, it will mean new uniforms for the band, it will perhaps mean an extra tuba or two. It will be work, hard work; but if this thing can be put across it will be worth it.
