To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
An excellent example of the results of removing popular will and replacing it with autocratic authority appears in your selection of a House all-star basketball team.
I do not intend to disparage the persons your sports editor selected, but it certainly casts grave doubts on his competency when virtually all players in the league that I have spoken to were amazed at the selections...
I fully realize that too many players cannot be chosen, but in my past three years in the House league, the players themselves elected an all-star team at the conclusion of the season, and there were few complaints. Probably, your observation on the whole matter will be that I am biased, having been the Dudley coach...If an election were held today among the players of the league I doubt if more than two of your "all-stars" would make the team. My faith in the improving coverage of House athletics by the CRIMSON was shattered by your distorted and arbitrary selections. Herbert R. Waite '49
The CRIMSON is aware that there will always he differences of opinion when any one person selects an all-star team, no matter how well qualified he might be. In order to avoid this difficulty in the future the CRIMSON will seek the cooperation of the House athletic secretaries in naming all-House teams chosen by the players.
