...almost unnecessary to dwell on the importance of intercollegiate debating. It is about the only form of intellectual competition in which members of different universities meet. To excel in this form of intellectual competition has always been Harvard's aim and accomplishment, and so the double defeat last year when the new plan to make debating more of an undergraduate activity was first put into effect was exceedingly disappointing. Good debating teams can be produced only after severe competition to determine the best material and prolonged drilling to train that material. Therefore, if Harvard is to be successful this year...
Short as it was, yesterday's practice was highly encouraging. The team seemed to have recovered almost entirely from the listlessness displayed in the Dartmouth game, and showed a great amount of snap and vigor. The forwards kept together well, exhibiting both speed and headwork in rushing and following back. All the players were quick to cover their men, and avoided the corners.

But there are plenty of enterprises of the same general nature, and by co-operating to avoid wasteful duplication the great American universities might do much to strengthen our literature on a side where it is now weak. There are many valuable books, the publication of which would almost repay the cost, but not quite.

Though the puck was kept almost continually in the opponents' territory, the shooting was extremely inaccurate, and the play disordered. The period was more than half over before Phillips made the first score as the result of a pretty display of team-work and a fast rush the length of the rink. Shortly afterward, Phillips scored again from a half-scrimmage. Then...
