Policy playing on East Cambridge cars at Harvard
The Cambridge cars still host policy games amid Harvard students. A Post man counted six men on the 6:50 p.m. Adams Square car with slips for yesterday's drawing. Runners, including John Galvin and Fred Rourke of 42 Howard Street, collect slips and money, while a young man handed Galvin a slip 23-33-53 for 75 cents. The practice, long a Boston activity, is driven by Harvard students soliciting plays on routes to and from Harvard Square.
