...tutors now living in Houses so as to produce a more nearly rounded tutorial staff in each House. If this plan is objectionable on the ground that tutors, like baseball players, don't ordinarily like to leave their home club, then some other solution must be found. This might amount to filling vacancies which may occur from now on with tutors in fields not well-represented in the various Houses. It was not President Lowell's idea that the Houses should become strongholds of academic totalitarianism, nor should this be the policy today...
...Ithacans had a limited amount of spring training and their early season games were little short of disastrous. But ever since then, they have brushed aside every rival in their path and now seem headed for a story-book finish in E.I.L. baseball.

Graves and No. 1 man Ace Cordingley form a very strong best ball due; they play together almost every day with the usual amount of side bets. To Graves Cordingley is "hunker"; to Cordingley, Graves is "meaty." Fair-haired Bob is a former Minnesota Junior title-holder, but he has never won his state amateur crown. This year he gets a real chance as the championship is played over his home course--White Bear Yacht...
