Dean Randall then passes to condemnation of the too-prominent position which athletics hold in our colleges, and counsels that they should be speedily reduced from their high estate. As a disciplinarian he could have made more effective attack upon athletics by praising them. Don't they teach our students punctuality? No man is ever twice late in reporting for football practice. Don't they teach thoroughness? No athlete who neglects the work required of him can win the success which he covets. Hence few neglect it.

The wings are the weak point of the University seven, neither Cunningham, Curtis, Wanamaker or Baldwin being strictly first-class calibre. The Yale wings, MacDonald and Murray, are both fast aggressive players...
...first five minutes of play the second team played a strong aggressive game and kept the puck very largely in the University's territory. After six minutes of play Captain Claflin scored on a long drive past Stanton and the attack of the second team seemed to flag. Townsend shot two goals and Baldwin the remaining two for the University...
