...hoped, a great deal of coaching can certainly be done by Seniors and Juniors. On the other, however, I more than doubt the wisdom of placing complete control of House athletics in the hands of the several captains. Inevitable disagreements with the captain's general policy and wide spread disapproval of patently faulty judgment in his picking and handling of men are frequently encountered here at Cambridge, and are generally of a more disagreeable sort than similar dissatisfaction with a graduate or professional coach.
