...worthy of your publication. They smack distinctly of the very "yellow-journalism" of which you accuse Hearst and the "gum-chewers' sheetlets." Some of your readers may appreciate your efforts at irony in these reports, but American as well as French tennis players will resent your discourteous and wholly unfair reference to our French guests and competitors...
...unmixed blessing, and playing Shaw in a repertory theatre is an out and out curse to the leading actors. The Mines one must learn for this week one must forget for next, and Monday night gives no criterion of the excellences that Friday may bring forth.

It seems to me unfair that thirteen men alone, in a game requiring eleven regulars, receive letters in the Yale game. If we look at the football team, we see eighteen or twenty men generally in the letter game, with two or three more receiving letters by award. This is a just state of affairs...
