...conditions under which "H's" are distributed in at least one branch of sport. That is cross-country running. In order to win an "H" under the present system one must lead a field of about seventy men in the intercollegiate run, and one must also have the good fortune to be on the winning team. If the framers of this strange device have any sense of humor they must have smiled at their work. It certainly does not cheapen the "H." One needs not only an extremely good pair of legs, but also a propitious co-operation...
...whether Yale wins the run or not. This does not cheapen the letter, for to secure even twelfth place in such an event requires great qualities. I think the Athletic Association should follow Yale's example in this respect, and place a real "H" within the reach of good cross-country runners, or else remove the mythical reward altogether. E.L.

...University squad has held daily afternoon practice on Soldiers Field since October 21. The prospect for as successful a team as last year's, which defeated Princeton and tied Yale and Columbia, is good. A squad of about 25 men reported, including the following members of last year's team: C. Chadwick '10, G. Fahnestock '10, H. Fish, Jr., '10, S. Galatti '10, F. DeH. Houston '10, F.R.

...verse is very much better. The first stanza of Mr. Tinckom-Fernandez's "The Game" is as good as any undergraduate verse one is likely to see in a long time, and the entire poem, though it does not keep up to this high level, is notable in its sincerity and vigor. Mr. Pulsifer's "The Riderless Horse" presents a striking idea with effective brevity, the difficult verse-form is fairly well handled, and the phrasing is at times admirable. The same writer's "Third Down," however, suffers from its close resemblance to four lines of Browning's "Meeting...
