To the Editor of the CRIMSON:

The ability of the Harvard cheering sections was proved Saturday. Volume and "pep" were there. Why not use them to better advantage?

May I offer a few suggestions along these lines? Why can't we give our opponents a regular cheer as they come on the field? Two weeks ago we did not give any cheer for Holy Cross before game time, and Saturday we were slow in sending across a "regular Harvard" for Indiana. We are the home crowd and as such I believe we ought to welcome our opponents with a whole-hearted cheer, no matter whether they come on the field before or after our varsity.

Another incident occurred two weeks ago which prompts me to the next suggestion. One of our own backs was injured and forced to leave the game. The opposing stands gave a short snappy cheer for him. When any of their men were compelled to leave the field because of injury we did not cheer them. The remedy for this falling is simple and will do much to increase the amity between the contending institutions. If our cheerleader does not know who is injured he can call to the players on the field or to those on the opposite side-line to find out.

And then the singing.--As the editorial in this morning's "Crimson" suggested, we ought to have a song leader, and we ought to have one NOW! It is high time we were getting our voices in shape for the Princeton game on Nov. 5, when only those "on pro" should remain in Cambridge. The Harvard stands and the Harvard team will then have to be as one. Let's start now to sing and cheer in order that we may fulfill our share of the contract on November fifth.

What we want is lots of singing and cheering--that's what the sections are there for, the glad-hand for our opponents, and victory over Princeton. KENNETH B. LUCAS '23, Oct. 10, 1921.
