To the Editors of The Crimson:
In reference to your recent article on intramural violence, I was upset to see you blaming intense Straus Cup competition for the altercation between the Quincy and Winthrop House hockey teams. Being one of the protaganists in said altercation, I would like to make clear that my motives had nothing whatsoever to do with the Straus Cup. Instead, I was provoked by the other teams insistence on attempting to "rearrange my face" with their hockey sticks. Though I cannot speak for the oppositions motives, I know that mine certainly were unrelated to "intense intramural competition" or "emphasis on the stupid cup"; rather, my actions were purely intended to "save face". I find it poor journalism to rely on hearsay evidence, unreliable sources and opinion, instead of investigating the incident yourself to discover the true facts. Dave Miller
