...self-appointed committee of Yale graduates who undertook last year to criticise Yale Athletics, pointed to Mr. Moore as an ideal Graduate Treasurer and his organization as an example to follow. Other colleges to have echoed this thought. The Harvard CRIMSON alone calls his tactics makeshift. Let me say that one of the best parts of Harvard's system is the absolute harmony of every piece of the organization.

...these years, his courteous treatment of many bitter critics, and his extremely conscientious handling of every situation that arises, particularly in the distribution of football tickets, I--formerly in charge of that same situation and knowing whereof I speak--resent any implication whatsoever that anything he plans is makeshift.

Samborski, catcher; L. M. Gibb, first; J. H. Hammond, second; Thomas Banes, third; L. O. V. Mann, shortstop; P. W. Chase, right field; Clark Hodder, center field; R. P. Rose, left field...
