Shortly after Christmas the candidates for the freshman nine will be called out, and it is now very necessary to arrange for their proper coaching. Last year the freshman nine had no regular coach until two weeks before the first Yale game. For this reason the nine was not so good as it might have been. The captain had double work, for he had to do all the coaching and also the choosing of the players.

Such an accusation against the whole association would be false, but its falsity would not remove the slur that rests upon the well-behaved members of the association...
...eminently desirable that both sides of any question should be presented to the public which is interested in it, and for that reason we are very glad to read the opinions of men who were displeased with the action of the directors of the Dining Association which was announced yesterday morning. It is apparently an excellent presentation of that side of the question...
