Barring the so-called "illustrations" of the so-called "Guide," the artistic side of the number is all that can for the present be expected. A departure is made in a cover of heavy paper. The cover picture and the centre page are well executed suggestions and the latter stands well alone without the appended remarks. But the small drawing which so concisely -- we might say but too truthfully--pictures the present football ticket situation is by far the best item in the current Lampoon...
Wright, left guard, is a little light for his position, but is improving in his defensive play. He is still put out of the plays too easily, does not cover enough ground and is weak in the interference...

Representing a "lone couple" sitting on a sand dune and gazing fixedly on the open sea, it looks like a crude copy of Gibson's "Solitude." The centre picture is intended as a caricature on the recent yacht race, but is neither clever in design nor amusing in point...

For second base, Keene and Putnam are about equally matched, and each is doing excellent work, although Putnam is weaker at the bat. At shortstop, Wright, Coolidge and Gilles are fairly accurate and cover a good deal of ground. Lancey and Rowley are doing well at third, but neither of them is a steady hitter...

The "By the Way" is the wittiest piece in the number, and "The America's Cup," for a sustained effort, is very readable...
