Brown Harvard

With the discontinuance this year of the Harvard game a great deal of discussion has been aroused among undergraduates and alumni of both universities. The latest development is the announcement by Dr. Frederick W. Marvel that he would like to see the football relations between the two colleges resumed. This announcement removes another possible stumbling block from the path of the resumption of the series and brings that resumption of the series and brings that resumption still closer.

There can be no question that the undergraduates of this University are strongly in favor of the continuance of the series and the letter from the Harvard Crimson published in the Daily Herald on March 9, 1928 showed beyond doubt that Harvard undergraduates wish more games with Brown.

That the customary date of this game has been filled is no reason for the cutting off of football relations since there are at least three other week ends on either schedule which could better be allotted to the traditional meeting. No other game as Brown men see it can fill the place of that with Harvard and the opinion expressed in the letter from the "Crimson" would substantiate the view that Harvard men feel the same.

We and all men of Brown with us feel that it is for the best interests of football of Harvard and of Brown that the 35th Brown Harvard game should be played and that it should be followed by a host of other meetings of the Crimson and the Brown. Brown Daily Herald
