Harvard 1971
Princeton at Harvard
November 6th, 1971
Princeton wins 20-10
Ladies and gentlemen, the Princeton University Banned in Boston takes a long, hard look at famous Bostonians who didn’t go to Harvard.
“Princeton Forward”
The Band first considers Paul Revere, who discovered that the British, after being holed up in town for so long, were finally getting up for the big push. Paul resolutely bore the brunt of alerting everyone about the forthcoming British breakthrough. Observing the profusion of British seamen in the Charles River, Paul cried out, “The British are coming!”, and mounted his horse, only to find that “The Old Gray Mare, She Ain’t What She Used to Be”
(Band forms blob)
The Band next focuses on Bobby Orr, and observes that, although he did not attend Harvard, by his mark of fifty scores in a single season he made a record any Johnny Harvard would be hard-pressed to match. Forming
a) a fast puck, or
b) vice versa, or
c) a record for a hard-pressed Johnny Harvard,
the Band salutes Bobby’s fast moves and fancy stickwork.
“Satisfaction” (Band forms circle)
Speaking of fancy stickwork, the Band now turns its attention to Ben Franklin and his lightning rod. Stifled by the Puritan atmosphere of prim old Boston, Ben left at the age of 14 for gay Philadelphia, “the City of Brotherly Love.” Ben at first had trouble getting his kite up, even with plenty of tail. But Mother Nature, coming to the rescue, blew up a storm, and Ben had his electrifying climax while “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on my Head”
