...word to Mr. Nickalls. In all probability his resignation as head coach will be greeted with the fatuous sarcasm of the numerous sporting editors the country over. Until the last six weeks, however, his relations with the university authorities have been satisfactory in every way. He produced in other years winning crews that proved his ability as a coach. We hope he will return to England taking the memory of those Yale years with him rather than the feeling of friction which has followed the disastrous races of the spring of 1921. Yale News...
There has been a tendency on the part of New York Newspapers--fancied or actual--in the last year to show Yale in a dulled light in a number of published articles. To the undergraduate this is a matter of immediate battle. A touch of misplaced sarcasm leads us to imagine a group of diabolical editors in solemn conclave for the purpose of misinterpreting every event on the Yale Campus. This is a silly conception and one born of pique rather than judgement. More careful perusal of the majority of articles will reveal that both sides of every question...

But the jocularity is not confined to "ham" actors, struggling stock companies, or situations so forced as to be suitable for sarcasm, for the most luminous of our stage stars and the efforts of our playwright most applauded elsewhere, have here repeatedly met with a sportive reception...

This sarcasm in turn is directed against the detective story of today in "Who do You Thing Did It? or The Mixed-Up Murder Mystery"--only the final outcome is not in accordance with the usual triumph of the Master Mind of today...
...contrary the parade this evening is to be carefully arranged and conducted. Modern election days are no longer marvels of fraud and diplomatic violence; but modern campaigns are almost as disgusting in their methods as the fraud of the old time elections. If the present fashion calls for sarcasm, petty arguing and calling of names by rival candidates and rival newspapers, sly attacks in print, then perhaps a torch-light parade may be called old fashioned. At least men leave the daily papers by which the world of to-day is judged, fall into line and shout their opinions...
