right, we do not know. Whether or not it is a source of strength to Yale, we do not know. In the long run no doubt it is. In this particular crisis, however, to continue to profess a confidence which no one feels is hypocrisy, too hold to be tolerated. Facts, no matter how unpleasant must be faced. The Hinkey regime has been given a fair trial and it has failed. The two recent defeats were not needed to prove it.

Dear Sir: I would appreciate it very much if you would answer one question for me. If summer baseball is permitted, can there be any dividing line or stopping place that will keep out the out-and-out professional?

The philosopher who can unravel the complexities of this summer base ball problem will be entitled after death to sit with the ghosts of Plato and Aristotle. We confess freely that it is a number of leagues beyond our limited philosophy and reasoning powers. Both sides have strong case to present; but the main weah- ness now lies in the muddled con- ditions of affairs, where so many diff ferent regulations are in vogue. What is needed is some standard agreement

Rush, like Haughton, has made a strong play for fundamental football good, hard tackling and blocking the old-fashioned stuff, that seems to have faded in so many instances since rev football came in In view of these better coached fundamentals we doubt that either Princeton or Har- ward will be able to make a touch ooWn, which leaves the issue to the major toes of Mahan and Tibbott.

Quite a Game.

This Harvard affair of the Saturday ahead should be one of the great football battles of the year. It should furnish a greater number of thrills than any other one occasion. For there will not only be a meeting of two fine elevens, but, added to this, a meeting between Eddie Mahan and Dave Tibbott, two of the backfield stars of the 1915 war.
 And it would be surprising in nc sense to see these two decide the issue of battle. for the margin of a field goal is more than likely to decide the ultimate count.

Secretary Frank B. Hazard of Nor
witch, Conn, lodge No. $50, is prepar-
ing his quarterly report which is due
this month. The April reports are es-
pecially important for the reason that
they mark the close of the fiscal year
for the subordinate lodges. 1t is upon
these reports that the tabulations
made by the Supreme secretary's Of
flee for the annual report to the SUI
preme convention must be made. This
years supreme convention is called to
meet earlier than any supreme con-
vention of the order has ever met. The
call has gone out for July 10, at San
Diego, Calf. The convention of 1915
will be held under most favorable cir
cumstances and unless all signs fail it
will be really a tremendous gathering.
In view of this fact the supreme sec
rotary is anxious to cooperate with
the officers of every subordinate lodge
in the order to make as smooth and
pleasant as possible the visits of its
delegates, past dictators or members
to San Diego.
