...November and the baseball team for Commencement week? In either case the interest of the participants will be decreased one hundred-fold, and of that there can be but one result--intercollegiate athletics will die out. We feel confident that no undergraduate will allow this without a bitter protest...
...like to criticize the men who have been secured under protest to officiate at the less important contests, and who have done the best they knew how; but it has been evident, especially in past class series, that the officials were unfit to exercise the authority placed in them. If graduate players and men familiar with the game will co-operate with the captains and managers in their efforts to secure officials who will strictly and intelligently enforce the rules, much of the unpleasantness which results form faulty rulings in these keenly fought games will be obviated...
