Apparently those who live in glass houses, not content with a mere throwing of stones, have entered into a somewhat ragged game of catch with the big leagues. It is too early to predict the outcome of the contest, but the constant mention of money adds a taint of professionalism to the proceedings which cannot fall to arouse regret in the ranks of the amateur garden clubs involved. So far the hothouse gang seems to have the edge but the experts are talking knowingly about the dark horse pitcher held in reserve by the big league...

We can hardly expect perfection immediately, but it is heartily hoped that before many moons pass the University authorities will be announcing plans for a new field house...
