NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

In honor of the Varsity football team's victory over Yale, the Harvard Club of Boston will give a reception and smoker in the club house on Monday evening at 8.30 o'clock.

Speakers for the evening will be Nathaniel F. Ayer '00, President of the Harvard Club of Boston; William Edmunds '00, toastmaster; William J. Bingham '16, Edward L. Casey '19, John Dean '34, and Herman Gundlach, Jr. '35.

Gold footballs will be presented to members of the team by the president of the club, for the first time since Harvard's victory over Yale in 1930 when the team was led by Benjamin H. Ticknor '31, and coached by Arnold Horween '21. In recognition of each victory over Yale, silver footballs are awarded to the Junior Varsity and Freshman teams, while gold footballs are given to the Varsity. Following the presentation, official H.A.A. moving pictures of the 1933 Yale game will be shown for the first time. Music for the occasion will be furnished by the University band.

Besides the Varsity players, the unbeaten Junior Varsity team and the Freshman team will be present. Members of the club and their guests are invited.

The smoker was chosen this year to fete the team, instead of a banquet, such as was given by the club in 1929. Harvard alumni had planned to stage a magnificent celebration in 1931, but their predictions were upset by a 3-0 defeat.
