Description: A huge crowd of students fills UC Berkeley's Greek Theater and watches a huge bonfire burn. A dozen young men are throwing a large wooden cabinet (?) onto the fire. Photo caption reads: Freshman, answering the plea for 'more wood' pile a small item resembling a modern apartment on the fire at the Axe-Rally in University of California's Greek Theater. Some 10,000 students cheered, sang and agreed to 'go get 'em gang' while the fire burned and burned. The reason - today's 52nd Big Game between the Golden Bears and the Stanford Indians. The prize - a rose-strewn trip to Pasadena New Year's Day.
