saw nothing of what Prof. Billy
Phelps thought Of such dramatic
classics as "Abies Irish Rose filled
the columns. Today you find at odd
intervals some pertinent mention OF
the Russian situation, the American
dole and the wisdom Of choosing be-
tween a Wall Street job and going to
work.
1t seems. in short, that the Yale
interest in living life had been
stepped up in proportion to the ad-
vanced savagery Of the Yale nan
backs. What l mean to say, is that
the Yale News, like the Yale foot
ball team. is much better than 1t
used to be. 1t is not only easier TO
watch the team, but easier to read
the campus gazette.
Just Naturally Readable
Mr.. Ducky Pond and his veteran
assistant Grassy Neale, the old peoteS-
sional baseball player, are responS-
ible for what has happened to Yale
football. A large gangling red-halreS
senior by the name of Dick Moore
is largely responsible for what has
happened to the Yale News. He IS
the editor.
He cut the sheet down to a con-
venient flask pocket undergraduate
size, introduced personalities,
warmed it up with humanism, eX-
cited it with controversy, made 1t
lookable and as a result, just natur-
ally, it has become readable.
Editor Moore is the brother Of
another req head, Johnny Moore,
who left an imprint on the mOdernp
Yale pattern that is almost as def
mite as Heffelfnger and Coy of the
old Yale patterns.
Not SO Much Sports
To leave such an imprint brother
Johnny did nothing more than come
to Yale, get tremendously enthused
about everything old Eli had to
offer make thousand friends and
graduate with high honors. He
never made letter. But if he had
made 40 All-Americas he could
never have pleased his dad over IN
Brooklyn more.
I agree with you, this isn't much
Of a sports story. But I think IN
writing about sports it is wise to
look once and while beneath the
happy harrah of the games. More
often than not this is an excellent
way to find out whether it is all
worth the while.
1t is no miS-Statement to say
that the wild hoopla of Yale today
springs from the gridiron and its
indicated team To find it re-
Elected in the editorial rooms of
the Yale Newsstand to find also
that the editors have at once a
sense of value and a sense of the
world problems, according to their
lights, is indeed warming.
It's Written for Dads
write this largely for the fathers
of young men in all colleges because
do not believe by any means that
the editors of the Yale News are
conspicuously unique. To be pre-
cisely frank, the editors of the Yale
News, measured by the yardstick
of liberalism. are still SIX down and
seven to go.
The encouraging thing is that in
editing an expression of campus
opinion they have learned there is
something more imnortaOt in roll
lege life than the poetic distress of
& male tenor and the literary travail
of an embryonic KeatS-not that
myself do not occasionally bow low
10 the classic melancholy of Rudy
Valiee and the drenching word
beauty of Sinclair Lewis.
Still speaking of the fathers (who
probably spent all their time at

give them some happiness, not to
say surprise, that the young men
