...confess that our ideal is a committee which should have some authority for self-perpetuation. Until we secure one man who will direct the football policy indefinitely we shall be in the position of the country of fortnightly revolutions which is assailed by an established power. The committee with possibilities of permanence seems, however, to approximate the one man idea more nearly than an annual appointment by the captain...
...elected for one year is naturally unwilling to bind the committee of another year or a future football captain. Therein lies the fundamental fault of our athletics from a competitive standpoint. Those who select a coach who is defeated in his first year night support him again, but their power is gone as well as his.

Mr. Warren's "Lost Christmas" is a story of sorrow, told creditably yet lacking power. Mr. Whitman's "Chamburlesque" I cannot estimate fairly without reading the work it parodles--and this, if the parody is just, I should be sorry to do. If I were judging the story by itself, I should be tempted to call it capable but vulgar...
