SHARPE Defends

Cornell Coach Appeals to Els
for Fair Play in Latter

CLOSE RIGHTS TO CRITICS
Ask Yale Alumni Weekly Not to Print
Criticism on Work of Team in
Harvard Game.

New Haven, Conn, Dec. I-Frank
Hinkey, Yale's head coach, is warmly de-
Tended by Al Sharpe. the Cornell coach
and former Yale player.
Sharpe appeals for fair play for Hinkey
In a caustic letter to the Yale Alumni
Weekly and asks the editor OF that organ
to close its columns to those who, without
knowledge OF football. attack the most
skilled coaches. His letter:
Editor Yale Alumni Weekly:
Sir-Apropos OF the football situation 7
would like TO suggest that you close your
columns TO all persons who have not
earned the right to criticise. The idea OF
Frank Hinkey, one of the best ends Yale
ever produced. being subject to criticism
by Yale men who never won their ''Y'' Is
absurd and does not deserve recognition
in any Yale publication.
Yale has enough football men TO decide
what is best for her without advice from
anybody else and when they have picked
Frank Hinkey as the man to handle the
Yale eleven for three years, II is for Yale
men to give him their whole-hearted sup
port until the time is up. and then 1t Is
for the football men of Yale and no other
to decide what is best for future Yale
teams.
1 saw the Yale-Harvard game for the
first time since l left college and natu-
rally was disappointed. but the Things
that were apparent to me must have also
been apparent to Yale's head coach in an
even keener way, and to believe that he
would not be better fitted to handle next
years team after this years experience
Is to lack Intelligence. This letter Is not
intended as a defense Of Hinky. He does
not need any. 1t is for those who, occu-
pying no position of responsibility, have
the audacity to sign their names to it
tiers criticising him when their opinion on
the subject is not worth the paper II Is
written on

Farm Folks are Learning.

8. They no longer buy fertilizer by
the smell of the goods, but are begin
ming to buy it for the plant food it
contains.
4. They are beginning to realize that
Lther, is no sense in killing Southern
nS all summer and buying West
eMsarass all winter; nor in paying
fr6ht and brokers' charges on West
em corn and meat when we can raise
them here without these extra
charges.
5. And especially do they realize
that it doesn't pay both to pay freight
on hay and buy nitrogen in sacks,
when clover, vetch, and cowpeas will
not only furnish cheap feed, but gath
er fortunes in nitrogen "free- gratis"
from the air above us.
: They are beginning also ~ see
hat it is cheaper to use horsc-labor
that needs food but not clothing than
human labor which needs both food
and clothing-and cheapest of all to
use maximum Of machinery which
REQUIRES neither food nor clothing.
Z. They see. too. that the mair
question is not how much we make
butt how much we keep, and that time
prices and foolish marketing may
keep men poor in spite of wise pro.
duction.
g.; And finally they are beginning tc
realize that just as there is many :

per popular, always. | have been
struck with Comrade G. T. Gault's
letters in the last issues, that of the
fourth especially; that paragraph in
which the writer deals with the situa-
tion politically on the Ridge. 1t is
SO good, and covers so much ground
at this particular time that we feel
like passing it on to others. Com
rade Gault is one of the connecting
links between the past and present
generation and what he says is well
worth remembering. He is no "fire
eater" and no bushwhacker to strike
below the belt. He has already tasted
the bitter pill of war and knows how
to express the horrors of it's calami-
ties and in his appeal in behalf of his
"weak and erring" brethren he
touches a chord that finds a ready
response in every patriotic heart
one that is filled with love for our
fellow men and the fear of God. Will
