It was during his schooldays that Jose do Couto Mareal first became ac-

the foremost exponent of this age-old art, in the Colony.

Not so very long ago the Sports Convenor of a well-known College had a word with me or rather with the young man to whom my by-line is often mistakenly attributed-and offered the opinion that the "approach" of this column to softball matters was doing the game an inestimable amount of harm. Simultaneously but this time less politely expressed another school of thought had it that I am "off my rocker!"

Both gentlemen are of course fully entitled to their views on my handling of the various topies I see fit to deal with in this column but I am afraid that they have overlooked one very important aspect of my writing before arriving at their respective conclusions as to my intentions or lack of sanity.
