The patience of Harvard reached its limit at the Centre game last Saturday. Since then the complaints which have poured in from graduates prove conclusively that it is the unanimous sentiment of Harvard that it is time the hoodlums were dealt with. The presence of a strong anti-Harvard element is bad enough, if tolerable; but when a Harvard man can not go to a game in the company of ladies without hearing on all sides loud and continuous degrees of bawdy talk directed against his own team--it is time then that something be done.

We make no mention of the other disagreeable features of the situation, not because they are unimportant, but because the point we have brought up,--the fact that Harvard graduates and undergraduate can not take their friends to the game, is one that is of present import and comparatively easy to deal with.

The Athletic Committee, we have heard, may take some definite action in this direction. We suggest that the first action consist of making it possible for at least one side of the Stadium to be entirely reserved for Harvard men and their guests. The easiest way to do this would, of course, be to stop in the future the sale of any tickets to the Harvard stands to the public, limiting them entirely to members of the University and graduates. Once that has been done it will be time to consider the dregs of the bowl.
