...named above, it would seem to be the duty of college authorities to provide, or to allow the students to provide, suitable directors of athletic sports, just as instructors in mental studies are provided. As to the third objection, it regulates itself. In colleges where the authorities undertake to control the time of the students, the latter will be allowed to devote only so much time to athletic sports as in the judgement of the authorities can be devoted profitably.

If the rule is adopted, it will of course give a great advantage to pitchers who have good control of the ball, and likewise be detrimental to those who have not. We strongly favor the new rule, however, for the reason that it gives the batsman a fairer show to hit the ball, and will tend to greatly raise the batting averages which were so low last year...
