To the Editor of the CRIMSON:

Whatever be the recreations suited to a holiday, clean and wholesome athleticism is evidently not one countenanced by the University pundits. In obedience to the body-building regime so rigorously imposed upon our younger contemporaries, and in order to enjoy the daily hour of play so necessary for a law student, we eagerly set forth today for a game of a uash in the courts so munificently provided for that purpose. We found the door of the Linden Street mecca locked and barred. We then requested the janitor of Randolph to allow us to enter by the tunnel. He informed us sympathetically that the key had been peremptorily se uestered by one Greer, Comptroller of Athletics. We next trundled down to the freshman courts, in the hope that their physic use were still being improved without reference to acts of the Massachusetts legislature, and that there, in the very citadel of strongfortism, we might blushingly exert our feeble strentht. A sing intimated that the door was locked for the day. We were interrupted in the act of opening a window by the watchman placed there they Comptroller to prevent the use by the little fellows for he building designed for them. This wothy opined that the Comptroller desired his holiday as much as we. It would thus appear to be the conviction of the anthorities that freshmen, unless tirelessly supervised, will put the Renaissance edifice to felonious uses or seriously injure themselves in well-meaning but misdirected efforts to play the game.

It is a somewhat grotes ue conception of the nature of a game to force one to play it; but it is the crowing buffoonery that, when one has succeeded in training himself to enjoy it, he be prevented his realization of that enjoyment. Is it too much to ask that, if games are to be compulsory, they may at least not be forbidden at arbitrary and unreasonable times? BRYANT PRESCOTT 21'
