...Crimson sweepswingers are far behind the race for spring training, because the West coast crews have been in their shells for a month already. However, Harvard material is strong and plentiful, and beyond the immediate problem of selection from this material, there is the acute problem of selecting a stroke. The same problem was crucial early last season, but it was readily solved by the time the races started...

Like Freud, he was denounced as a charlatan...
