EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: -Leaving to be discussed by others, the question of the justice, right or expediency of the recent action of the Athletic Committee in dismissing Col. Bancroft from the position of coach of the crews, I wish to call attention to what seems to me to be strange inconsistency on the part of the Committee.

A request was first made to the committee for postponement which they refused absolutely, saying the subject must come before the faculty to day.
