...after year, has every reason in the world to be Ivy League champion, except for one great disadvantage: it has kept the same poor coach for all these years. I recommend to anyone interested in this appalling state of affairs, to journey over to Cumnock Field some evening, and watch head coach Yovicsin, say with dazzling eclat a few dull and meaningless words, and watch his team practice under the complete direction of his assistant coaches

Hundreds of young girls are learning karate, tossing oft furious statements about "male chauvinists," distributing threatening handouts ("Watch out! You may meet a real castrating female!"), and even citing with approval the dictum of the late revolutionary Frantz Fanon: An oppressed individual cannot feel liberated until he kills one of the oppressors.
