...against such a plan: the difficulty of the practical management, and the possibility of rain. It may be argued that Sanders has more dignity by virtue of its traditions; but certainly it also has more discomfort than the Stadium, nor is the latter without its dignity. And the overwhelming lack of space in the theatre puts it at a disadvantage in any comparison...
Although no conclusive proof, as yet, has, backed up the professorial explanation of recent athletic unhappiness at New Haven as being due in large measure to the lack of vitamines in the over- worked soil of Connecticut; the part played by diet in athletic training is being weighed and estimated today as never before. Not only "what" to eat, but "how much" and "how often" are debated in athletic camps all over the country.

His criticisms of books on dramatic technique and on players, production and plays do not seen "desultory" because of the clear expression and lucid writing. Though they are better by far than most of their king, still they lack the permanently endearing qualities of such a book as Shaw's "Dramatic Opinions...
