...University sextet goes on the ice tonight at the Boston Arena against Boston University, it will be to revenge the 3 to 0 defeat handed them last year by the Terriers. Tonight's contest will find both teams in great shape. The B. U. team has been in action three times this year, tieing M. I. T. 2-2, losing to M. I. T. 4-3, and trailing Yale 7-3.

This silent record is conclusive. Against it, no matter how honest they are, flimsy lists of incidents like Hubbard's; based on circumstantial and partial evidence...
...have been caught on the crest of one of these surges of iniquity, and that Cobb and Speaker are liable to be waived out of the American league we decided that the present side of sin has exceeded its legitimate high water mark. And being a man of prompt action we no sooner decided that American crime had gone too far than we resolved to do something about it. We gave this matter the full benefit of our careful consideration and arrived at several plausible solutions of the problem. Pahily put, our leading crime preventatives follow...
