EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: - Please allow me to criticise the execrable coaching which the freshmen received in Wednesday's game while on bases. They have much to learn in respect to this important feature of the game. Had the captain and his assistant coaches refrained from their constant stream of meaningless yells and given a little real advice at critical moments, their coaching would have been of some use.

...provision against personal discrimination, which he characterized as very just. The fact is that where discrimination is made between two shippers it is usually the wrong one that gets the advantage. II. - The long and short haul clause, whose justice in theory he was willing to allow. There is, however, this much to be said against it, that the business of the country has distributed itself in accordance with the old discriminating rates. Men would plant factories where low rents and cheap raw material made up for high rates. The enforcement of this clause of necessity revolutionizes many of these...
