Mr. Hurley has done yeoman work in making the knot more difficult by violating the governor's injunction against publicity, and by spreading through the newspapers a hopeless mass of sensational and unclassified criticism.

It has been recognized that the main function of all the games, aside from the financial one, is to provide instruction and competition for accomplished athletes. There ought, accordingly, to be a revision of the present unjust arrangement which permits a man to go without reward even though he has participated in all the games but that with Yale. Such a step is particularly necessary in those sports which do not permit of extensive last minute substitution; also, in the case of men who are kept from...
