Communication

Nine Harvards

To the Editor of the CRIMSON:

If you have ever had the satisfaction of taking part in a regular Harvard cheer with nine Harvards on the end you must have felt that the Harvard men on the field cannot have failed to heed this sign of encouragement. The feeling it incites is something more than that of the regular cheer: it inspires player and spectator alike, makes the former feel that every Harvard man in the stands is behind him and the cheering section feel that it is doing everything it possibly can to help the team.

I have not heard this cheer for several years and while I realize there are times during the game when quiet is desired I am convinced that cheering in this way could help Saturday. DONALD K. PANKARD ex-'15 November 20, 1922.
