These grafters--for no other name suits them as well--would bitterly resent being classed with the multitude of political parasites who besiege a successful candidate for office. They insist that they are merely claiming their rights, and cannot understand the attitude of men with equally strong claims who are content to sit by and receive what they deserve. We do not intend to urge men who have been treated with obvious unfairness to refrain mistakes.

By two years of untiring effort Mr. Reid succeeded in establishing an efficient system, although judged by the results of important games, its effect was not immediate. We understand that Mr. Crane does not differ radically from his predecessor in his conduct of the squad. He is, moreover, fortunate in his assistants, several of whom are familiar with Mr. Reid's methods. It is in the choice of such men that a head coach has one of his best opportunities...
