...intercollegiate series last Saturday evening by defeating Columbia at the St. Nicholas Rink, by the score of 14 to 1. Columbia was outclassed from the start and was far surpassed both in speed and in knowledge of the game.

...seems almost hopeless for a team which has had no more practice than our hockey players to attempt to play an intercollegiate game.

Yet rain seems to be the only excuse for the fact that the number of track candidates who reported yesterday for work held almost entirely indoors, was about one-third of the number who appeared for the first day's practice last winter.

One often feels in our academic life the almost total lack of personal contact and fellowship with the older men of our community; and the comparatively few attempts which meet with any success at all in opening up this phase of life which is so full of benefit for both the mature and the growing members of the University...
