...marked batting slump which the Harvard diamond forces have taken during the last few clashes has caused Coach F. G. Mitchell to try out several different combinations in an attempt to build up a more powerful offensive. The left and right field assignments have been quite undecided of late, and tomorrow's game will most probably find two newcomers to these parts on the field. E. R.

No matter what career he takes up, some day the question of apportioning his time will become the vital issue and often success or failure may depend on his solution. To attempt to keep him from gaining such valuable experience by a rule that sets a uniform limit to a quality as varied as capacity for work is to give substance to the impression that colleges pass all students through a common mould and turn out only impractical theorists. The Northeastern rule is admittedly...
