EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- It strikes me that the gentleman who signs himself "Undergraduate" has a little exceeded his authority in writing such a communication as that which appeared in yesterday's CRIMSON. The writer, who is probably a freshman, should learn to respect the opinions of those who are older and better than himself.

On the other hand there are those to whom proficiency in games is an instinct, and the gaudium certaminis a stimulant-almost an intoxicating one. To advise these men to take sober walks that they may avoid over-exertion and broken bones, is an absurdity...
