...responsibility on the team the minute the playing begins, remains to be seen. A great deal depends on the character of the players. While much can be done by the players themselves to improve the ethics of baseball, it remains for the spectators to apply the rules of fair play to cheering. Properly organized cheering has great possibilities. But first, last, and all the time spectators themselves are responsible for making baseball what it should be in American colleges...
...should be further insulted by the steady cloud of dust and filth that rises from the pavement of that street, and from the now unmentionable bridge. The Athletic Association certainly owes the civic powers a considerable debt for police protection and supervision on the field; it is only a fair suggestion that it return the compliment by a nominal daily investment in the effective use of an oil-cart on the street near the field. Or, if it is not within the province of the Association to provide some remedy from its own funds, it certainly is its duty...

We asked a chance half-dozen, and only four of them answered, "I don't know," and our pride limped away. Now perhaps this is not a fair question; perhaps, however, Mr. Johnson speaks the truth. Recalling Mr. Stover's psychology on various occasions, we are inclined to lift an eyebrow and doubt if Mr. Johnson sees below the surface, and to chide him for using too broad a brush and too garish colors. His trouble...
