Cornell Students Hold Rally, Cheer Returning Eleven

The broadcast of today's game will be carried by WHDH (650 on the radle dial), starting at 1:45 p.m. Curt Gowdy will give the play-by-play description.

Hundreds of cheering Cornell students and their dates led a torchlight parade in Ithaca last night to celebrate the home-coming of the Big Red football team.

The crowd was swollen by the presence of many Cornell alumni, who are in town to see their heavily-favored eleven face the Crimson squad this afternoon. Only a few Harvard students were on hand at the rally, and the total number attending the game is estimated at 100.

Last year an expected invasion of the Yard by the Cornell band failed to materialize.

Cornell cheerleaders announced last night that they would use for the first time the "placard system" which is generally adopted at Middle Western colleges.

Meanwhile, the Harvard Debate Council had its troubles. They had planned to engage two Cornell girls in a discussion on the topic: "Resolved, That girls should choose death before dishonor," with the men defending the negative. But despite an O.K. from the Dean of Women, the Cornell Dean of Men ruled out the debate on the technical grounds that the topic should have been filed with his office ten days ago.

The question for the debate has been changed to: "Resolved, That co-education should be abolished." The girls will defend the negative.
