The decision that Harvard's baseball games will again be directed from the bench next spring was not unexpected among those in contact with either the players or coaches. When it was announced a year ago that the captain of the team would be in full charge of certain of the games, including the two with Yale, during the 1930 season, the success of the plan was by no means assured. It will be remembered that the three-game series with Yale in 1914 was played without the coaches; but the other system was resumed the following year.

In the game of baseball, relations between players and coach are closer than in any other sport. It is by no means an overemphasis of athletics that Harvard should admit the failure of what was admittedly an experiment. It is unfortunate, however, that the Yale-Harvard series should find one team with, and the other without a coach on the bench. If only to avoid unpleasant discussion, both teams should certainly play these games under similar conditions.
