...University hockey team overwhelmingly defeated the Williams seven 9 to 1 in a slow, loosely-played contest at the Arena last evening. Williams showed little speed and almost no stick-work or team-play and at no stage of the game was really dangerous. On the other hand, the University did not show its usual form and there was practically no attempt at team-play. The entire squad with the exception of Clark, who is not yet in condition to play, took part in the contest...
...common nuisance is the man who can't play the piano but who does. Almost any night he may be found in the Living Room of the Union, filling the air with chords which are more noteworthy for their vigor than for their accuracy. When once he starts, all study is at an end; the fresh air is the only refuge from his onslaught. Such a man is cousin to the magazine mangler and blood brother of the noisy card player. Society, in college and out, tolerates such men because they apparently get some innocent happiness out of such...
...meaning in numbers. Now we may perceive that in the reckoning by numbers alone Harvard is sixth down the list, Yale is seventeenth, and Princeton twenty-sixth in the list, while Columbia has not only attained the front rank, but got so far ahead of it that there seems almost to be a vacancy in the second place. Of the universities which come next, California now impressive with 8,180 students, and Chicago with its 7,131, were almost unknown in the palmy days of the "Big Four." But this change in order does not argue decadence by any means...
...University hockey team succeeded in winning the first game of the Yale series by the score of 4 to 2 in the Arena last Saturday evening. The victory was due entirely to the sensational work of two men, Phillips and Wylde, the former scoring three goals almost unaided, and the latter knocking down seemingly impossible shots at the net time and again. On the whole, the University team was outplayed during the greater part of the game. The forwards, particularly the wings, were unable to penetrate Yale's defense, and the majority of the play was in Harvard's territory...
When Mr. Osborne was appointed warden of Sing Sing a short while ago, conditions there were very unsettled, and dissatisfaction with conditions had reached almost to the point of revolt among the inmates. Taking hold of the problem at once, he instituted a series of changes which almost immediately gained the confidence of the prisoners, and now the spirit of the men is one of co-operation with their keeper. Mr. Osborne's talk this afternoon will deal mainly with his experience with his "prison-going friends." The lecture is open to all members of the University...
