To the Editor of the CRIMSON:

Having perused editorials in the Boston papers and in the higher purveyors of news in New York City, we feel called to throw a gleam of light upon the all-important question of the brutal attack and "false" imprisonment of the poor boys at the Stadium by Harvard's heartless mercenaries.

For years past the ten thousand boys of Allston have considered the Stadium their playground on Saturdays. The mornings have been devoted to playing hide and seek with the revered officers of the law. In the afternoons, as the crowd pours through the gates to witness the over-emphasis of football in the weekly titanic struggles, the boys go into action. They have forgotten the beneficence of the Harvard Athletic Association which has played host to them on previous Saturdays and now become an annoyance to the cash customers.

Some small percentage of the uninvited guests systematically frisk the parked automobiles; others aid lost articles in staying lost perpetually, in spite of the efforts of the Lost and Found Department; other little magicians prove that the hand is quicker than the eye when exploring the pockets of the fallen devotees of Bacchus; and still others persist in destroying the pleasure of the game for those who find that one of these soiled ragamuffins has usurped a neighboring seat.

In defense of the much maligned Harvard students, who in their efforts to protect an ungrateful public have brought down a flood of criticism upon themselves and Harvard, we wish to state that the cage is no Black Hole of Calcutta. Rather it is a depot where they await free transportation, furnished through the kindness of the Boston Police Department; their destination being the Station House where they await the arrival of their negligent parents.
