HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
Some "on-the-ball" rathouse dwellers saved themselves $250 yesterday afternoon when they caught the assistant of a chiseling bookie, gave him the third degree, and made him return their checks.
The bookie's stooge had come around to their door a few days ago, offered them 6 1/2 to 5 on Yale, and had quickly received bets on the Alma Mater by every one present. Winners were to go downtown to the "Old Coffee House" after the game, ask for "Yorkie," and collect their money.
