Preacher Henrichsen found her Maine parsonage saggy and rundown. The roof was a sieve, every door was warped, and the front hall had to be shoveled when it snowed. Huddled in her winter coat, Mrs. Henrichsen studied with her feet in the oven, and kept a wary eye peeled for field mice scurrying up the open drain of the old iron sink...

This means that at schools where professionalism is a problem, spring practice will be fairly superfluous since the material is pretty slick to begin with. Meanwhile colleges such as Harvard, which depend on developing unpolished material to attain even respectability, will lose the advantages springtime drill has to offer...
