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. Last year, when the question of having a paid director of field athletic sports was under discussion, the Athletic Committee of the Faculty announced, as I understand the matter, that if only a man like Col. Bancroft could be found to take charge...
...another failure now under the existing circumstances. We ask the committee to post pone action in the matter until after the convention. We appreciate our danger and will do all we can to avert it. We only demand a fair chance, and slight delay which we ask does not seem an unreasonable request...
...sport so manly. Besides, the game appears much worse to spectators than it really is. The "throws" and "falls" are seldom serious, and we may say that permanent injury is as rare as in any other form of exercise.

...that is a man who bought a drum before the election, and who practices it yet; sounds rather loud in the well, doesn't it?" Loud, we should rather say it did; does he hake any more noises like that, we want to know? "Well," says Snodkins, "it may seem rather steep at first, but I have got used to it; had to, in fact. After a few months in college, noises affect one very little. I used to think they were terrible, but bless you I don't mind 'em now at all." We begin to have...
