Two youths apparently bent on stealing from student rooms were caught on the second floor of Barnard Hall at about 12:30 a. m. yesterday.
Three youths, one armed with a six-inch knife according to an eyewitness, were let into Barnard by unsuspecting South House residents. They rang the bell of the door facing the Radcliffe Quad for about 15 minutes, and were refused admittance by several students before entering the dorm, said Liss Jeffry '73, who observed the scene from a fourth-floor window.
A University policeman apprehended the boys, reportedly aged 15 or 16, as they came out of a student's room on the second floor. After a scuffle in which the policeman lost a tooth and a chase down Barnard corridors and stairways, two of the youths were arrested, while the third managed to escape. Cambridge police were called in for assistance.
