Aside from the valuable experience which the players and coaches of the Harvard team may have received from the West Point game, the football management must have been impressed by the admirable thoroughness with which every possible provision was made for the comfort of the crowd. There were not more than ten thousand spectators present, but the attendants could have handled many times that number had there been seats enough, so perfect was the organization of affairs. Information officers were stationed at several places about the grounds, and even at the train and boat platforms. Two cadets were detailed to the press stand to announce the names of the Army players as they figured in the confusing succession of plays.
These are but instances of methods which might well be adopted for handling the much larger crowds that come to games in the Stadium. To those who live in this community information bureaus, ticket offices, and ushers in greater number than we are accustomed to would offer no additional pleasure in the games, but to the many who come as comparative strangers to Cambridge such minor details would bring much additional enjoyment. West Point has a large squad of enlisted men available for this sort of service; but the Harvard management would have no difficulty in securing a corps of qualified employees who would perform at Harvard games the duties that the regulars accomplish so efficiently at West Point.
