Saturday afternoon, with the Harvard football team poised for a try at the hieing point, a crescendo of "block that kick" swept over one side of the stadium. The only element of surprise in this tradition of footballmania was that the vocal effort came from men, themselves undergraduates at Harvard. Add to this the fact that the small colorful team from William and Mary was cheered consistently throughout the game by the University spectators, that on one occasion the referee was roundly hissed when he called a penalty against the Southerners at a rather crucial point, and the display offers...
