Just now we are facing a critical problem in the baseball situation, a problem particularly emphasized by the last three defeats. The situation is by no means hopeless, as many undergraduates evidently believe, but it is one that requires the attention of every man interested in the development of a team that will win from Yale when the series is played in June. That the team has a great deal of latent ability has been made evident by the playing in earlier games, but that this ability is not being utilized was clearly shown by the contest on Saturday.

...most ambitious story in the number is "Simple Heart," by Arthur Wilson--the tale of a romantic simpleton in a laundry and the undergraduate, not too shadowy to leave an impression of a hopeless cad.

This drama, the noblest and most intensely provocative of hard thinking that Boston has seen for many days, is called "As a Man Thinks". Into an apparently hopeless turmoil of sin and mental suffering which comes from the faithlessness of a husband and his suspicion of the faithlessness of his wife, into that very world which the modern "problem play" has bared so relentlessly, comes the calm, certain figure of a Jewish doctor, invincible because he possesses what those...

...musical clubs. But what a difference in attitude if the afflicted one happens to be a well-known athlete! Immediately there is universal mourning and the football team, crew, or nine, which was so promising a few weeks before, starts for New London or New Haven in an apparently hopeless condition. At this point it might be parenthetically stated that the cause of the commotion is himself considered to be very little to blame. Let us proceed one stage further.
