...very rough and exciting game Saturday on the Stadium rink, 1906 won the second match of the interclass hockey series, defeating 1905 by the score of 2 to 1. Both teams exhibited fair team work, but the play was so rough that accuracy was impossible. The Junior forwards showed better ability than the Seniors in keeping possession of the puck in the first half, and scored one goal...
Since the Columbia game last Saturday, the University team has improved materially in stick work and in ability to follow and keep possession of the puck. On the offense the forwards play together better, and in passing, especially across the rink, have become faster and more accurate. With the exception of Callaway they still fall, however, to follow back properly after losing the puck.

In the end the better physical condition of the University team told and its players obtained the advantage by breaking away from their opponents. Harvard was also strong on the defensive, but the forwards were weak in covering. Both Henderson and Griffiths played fast games, the latter throwing several difficult baskets. McGrail did the best work for Dartmouth...
...this idolatry of burly Sullivans, and Wooly Goliaths game far enough? Why does this good old game of football languish in America? Why does good old Rugby languish? Why do not the men who pine upon the bleachers take this up and make it popular? It is a better game in some respects and less brutal than its American brother. It is less sure to maim and kill. But there is room enough for all of them. CHARLES G. FALL, '68, Venice, December...
