Charles G. Haines, visiting professor of Government, returned to the simpler method of refusing to comment, saying simply, "No, nothing to say." Benjamin F.

Wild, assistant professor of Government, elaborated a bit more, saying he felt "something of the sort would have to be done if we were to have an efficient democracy.

Trying to pick the World Series winner last week, baseball experts quickly boiled it down to a question of whether Giant pitching-by Hubbell, Schumacher and Fitzsimmons- could beat Yankee hitting. For nonexperts, the question was even simpler. For them, as it is likely to be for baseball historians, the 1936 World Series was a personal struggle between Hubbell and Gehrig. Lean, morose Carl Owen Hubbell is currently baseball's No. 1 Pitcher and among the half dozen ablest in the game's annals. Jolly, thick...
