EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: - The chronic difficulties under which the majority of our athletic organizations seem to be struggling, has no doubt, often suggested to our readers the advisability of some change in the present methods of administration. While the ball nine from its large gate receipts. usually has a surplus at the end of the season, the crew, owing to its dependence upon subscriptions alone, is in arrears...
...upon one of the hooks at the side of the hall. Imagine his supreme disgust, when looking for his coat after dinner, to find that it had been stolen, almost under his very eyes.

To watch some of these veterans limping out of a furious "maul," or rolling on the muddy turf, would give a stranger, no doubt, a high opinion of the vivacity and pluck of our countrymen ; but to one of philosophical bent-such a one, for example, as Mr. Max O'Rell (who has indeed branded the game as "fit only for savages")-the spectacle might also have a ludicrous side. He might feel inclined...
