Stacked with bales of hay and resounding with band music and yells of 'Cliffie cheerleaders, Cambridge Common will be the scene tomorrow morning for a highlight of Harvard-Yale athletic rivalry, the annual bicycle marathon.

The Crimson team will include four professional hockey players who, although not Harvard students, have been allowed to compete.
