...intend to so waste my time after reading your review of it. But for the first time I am thoroughly disgusted with TIME. My first impulse, after reading page 48 of the Oct. 3rd issue, was to cancel my subscription. That page, with its rehashing of the foul Beecher scandal, would have a familiar setting in the Daily News or the Graphic. It is altogether out of place in TIME. For printing such a scurrilous attack upon one of the most gifted and cultured men who has appeared in the American pulpit you deserve to lose many subscribers...
...CRIMSON regrets deeply to admit that error like a foul, cankerous growth crept unnoticed and uninvited into its editorial sanctum to contaminate, if not totally infect a comment labelled "Let Them See" in the issue of October 14. The exhortation to visual perception was hardly necessary. The H. A.

Dillington-Dowse who wrote you a letter of such foul criticism on the club stationery (TIME, June 13). My blood still boils when I remember his sneering reference to "The Yanks, a nation ... by no means of the first rank, who . . . found themselves in 1914-18 too proud to fight...
James P. Dawson, though convinced of the foul himself, summed up in the New York Times: "In behalf of [Referee] O'Sullivan it can be said unequivocally that he acted as he saw the action and as his experience dictated. If he made a mistake ... he made an absolutely honest mistake. . . . O'Sullivan always has been one of the most efficient and capable referees. ... He is known for his honesty, fearlessness, integrity and unimpeachable character. None disputed this. ... It is simply a matter of opinion...
