DEAR SIR: 

In connection with The Changing Stu­dent Athlete, I can understand why coaches have objected to long hair or beards on their players, but why the ob­jections to mustaches? There is nothing revolutionary, radical, or hippy-like about mustaches. If you look at pictures of Princeton teams taken in the ’80s or early ’90s, I surmise that you will find some mustaches in all or nearly all of them.
