...Buzzard brothers-they were six-never got on well with the diligent, godly Mennonites and Amishmen of Lancaster County. One Sunday in 1867 a preacher tried to put them out of church and they were so annoyed that they broke the preacher's arm. As a result of that, they joined their mother who was in the county workhouse on a larceny charge. When the brothers got out they ran away from school and set up a sort of Robin Hood headquarters in the Welsh Mountains in southeastern Pennsylvania...

In Manhattan, playing under the national rules, his team broke the two-year (43-game) winning streak of Long Island University, with much help from an ambidextrous young forward named Hank Luisetti...
Midway through the second frame, Captain Bob Burke of Princeton slapped a penalty shot into the net at 12.44 to tie the count after Freedley had climaxed three spectacular saves by sitting on the puck. Late in the period Ralph Pope took Harding's pass and broke the deadlock at 18.07. In the final frame Harding sank Roberts' pass at 5.20. The Crimson held the Tiger at bay until just before the final bell, when Barnicle beat Freedley for the last score...
