Granting that an attack upon a man's honesty should be accompanied by the author's name, I can, nevertheless, see why anonymous communications such as those of "Junior" are justifiable: For, in the first place, Junior did not attack the honesty of the instructors.

They made Harvard's left tackle the point of attack, and Lea was sent through here for several good gains. Rosengarten tried the same place for a gain of five yards. He was followed by Church and Armstrong who together gained six yards. Rosengarten again made five yards through Hallowell. Baird was called upon for a punt, but he fumbled and Wrightington dropped on the ball...
