Miniature Rodeo Staged by City Policeman in Front of Yard Gate---Cop Bests Bawling Calf

Students hurrying to their 12 o'clock classes yesterday had the privilege of witnessing a miniature rodeo, staged by the combined efforts of a small black and white calf and Patrolman McGinty of the Brattle Square Station. An infant bovine, apparently imbued by the desire to "enter and grow in wisdom" escaped yesterday from a truck of the New England Meat Packing Company and immediately sought sanctuary within the Yard, entering by the Johnston Gate near Harvard Hall.

While an interested crowd gathered, some one telephoned the police, and Patrolman McGinty answered the call to duty. With quick efficiency he gathered the animal in his arms--then the trouble started. Bawl on bawl rent the air; wildly the calf waved his spindly legs. Frantically the officer clutched his burden to his bosom. It was no use; there are limits to human ability. With a grant of relief Mr. McGinty dropped the ungrateful creature. "This is a two-man job," he decided.

Stepping out into the Square he stopped the first car that was available and borrowed a blanket and an old piece of rope. Enlisting the assistance of the driver, he once more approached the baby bovine. Only this time he planned his attack in advance, like a field marshal leading his troops into battle. Flanked on one side by a brick gatepost and on the other by the automobile driver the patrolman closed in. For a moment it looked as if the calf would make a brake stand, but realizing that he was outnumbered three to one, and overwhelmed by this careful planning, the animal surrendered without a bawl. Ten minutes later the calf was once more safely ensconced in the Packing Company's truck, on his way to become "roast prime ribs all jus."
