...author fails signally in accomplisbing what he states at the outset is not difficult, "to define the really patriotic attitude for the undergraduate in the present crisis."

Laughlin, Foster and Clark all fielded their positions perfectly. Foster especially doing some excellent work at first on low thrown balls across the diamond...
