Turning to the poets, we find Mr. Clark clinging to his chosen form--unrhymed and at times unrhythmical verse. "Spring" is sincere, sensitive, and despite its form truly poetic.

While we expect a great deal of enthusiasm to be shown preceding the remaining football games, we ask that it be kept within the bounds of reason.
