On Saturday, after the Bowdoin game, the customary cheers were not given for the Harvard nine. It is understood that the omission was intentional.
OFFICE OF BOWDOIN ORIENT, Brunswick, Me., April 28, '86.EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - I cut the above from Monday's CRIMSON. I was present at the game, and was with the nine when the Harvard cheers were given. When the Harvards cheered, one of the members of our nine called our team, who were already leaving the field, to return and cheer, and they were about to do so, when a gentleman standing by said the Harvard cheer was not for the Bowdoins, but was always given after a victory, and that no response was expected, so that our men did not stop. Afterwards, when the mistake was discovered, our boys expressed much regret. The Bowdoins were more than satisfied with their treatment. I wish you would correct the matter in your columns, as I know our nine intended no discourtesy.
Very respectfully,M. L. KIMBALL, Exchange Ed.of Orient.
