...belief that they alone have earned by their popularity the right to receive financial support form the Committee funds. Among these sports, to be sure, rowing is not self-supporting, nor, I believe, is track; yet the Committee has refused to concede the injustice of giving $3,200 worth of instruction to 400 rowing men and at the same time refusing $800 worth of instruction to fencing men. It would doubtless ignore a plea for proportionate expenditures on hockey as compared with track. By this arbitrary choice of sports and unhappy discrimination among the interests which are forced to submit...
...centre-page fails to take advantage of the possibilities of an excellent idea. The old age of a joke on page 16 suggests the inquiry, "Who had the face to do it?" A large proportion of the minor articles are disappointing--many of the rest, however, are distinctly worth while, and leave a good impression...
...forward, sensible and well-written article than "The Crew Coach" by W. H. L. Bell '04, is seldom if ever seen in an undergraduate publication.

Hagedorn, Jr., '07, are of unusual excellence, but require such exceptional quality to give them preeminence over the other articles of the issue...

Without these traditional features of a Yale game, however, much of the incentive for such cheering will be absent. Is not the experiment of omitting these features worth trying? The team will them win or lose on its own merits. And should it lose, I am sure lack of support will not be the cause. Harvard men hither to have never needed incentive to show their confidence in the teams that are playing for Harvard's honor...
There must necessarily be two points of view from which the value of organized cheering at public games is to be judged, from the players' point of view and from that of the audience. As to the point of view of the audience it is, perhaps, not worth while to offer an opinion. To them the organized cheering is inspiring to hear but often a nuisance when they feel obliged to participate. Probably, on the whole, however, for the spectators the organized cheering has a distinct element of enjoyment and greatly stimulates their enthusiasm...
