...amusing and ends pointedly. The editorial on the distribution of Yale game tickets lacks the overdone tone of previous ones and is timely, but might be improved by the omission of the play on a word in the last sentence. The Yale game, described in scriptural language, is a great addition to the editorial column. The smaller bits, which are few, contain a fair amount of humor...
...seems only fair that members of the team and the coaches should have special seats for themselves and their immediate families, but the privilege should extend no further. It is an abuse to treat their friends among graduates and undergraduates as a privileged class, yet their friends put very great pressure upon them for special seats. The whole spirit of good sport rests upon equal opportunities to all, both in playing the game and seeing it. Certainly, any system is a viscious one which deprives the undergraduates of their legitimate right to see the games under the most favorable conditions...
While there is undoubted cause for complaint this year, there is also great exaggeration in the statements about the seats. It is to be regretted that tickets have found their way into the hands of the speculators, but I am sure that the number bears an exceedingly small proportion to the total number issued.

In clever imitation of Conan Doyle's style, the writer narrates an incident which has no part in the memoirs of the "great detective." Throughout, the story is well sustained, and, moreover, it shows a sureness of touch and a power over detail. The movement is swift and the plot is seemingly original. "A Journey's End," by C.F.C. Arensberg '01 is a conventional love story which contains some rather skilfully arranged dialogue. In "The Policeman," A. H. Gilbert '01, attempts a sympathetic treatment...
...eleven yesterday afternoon, the first eleven scored four touchdowns and one goal from the field in twenty-three minutes play. There were few fumbles by the first eleven, but many by the second. The tackling in general was poor and the men had no success in following the ball. Great effort was made to perfect team play which resulted in good pushing in the line plays. As Hallowell was slightly injured and Campbell did not go into the line-up, the work of the ends was weak. The kicking by Sawin, however, was good, especially a pretty goal from...
