...game. It was in this game that Duncan for the first time this year showed flashes of his old time brilliancy. His speed increased, he was after the puck all the time and was second only to Huntington in following back. The following Wednesday the first game against a Canadian seven, St. Francis Xavier, was played and the University team came away victorious...
...game with McGill were indeed poor, until it was discovered on Friday night that Sortwell would be able to return to play in the game. This contest marks the highest point of the season so far.

Harvard men who saw the McGill contest on Saturday were not disappointed in the showing of Captain Huntington's team. Against what was said to be the best amateur hockey combination in America Harvard played a hard, fast clean game which gradually wore down the more experienced Canadian players.

The CRIMSON congratulates the seven on its well-earned victory and looks forward eagerly to the seventeenth, when Yale comes to the Arena. Defeated by Princeton, the New Haven team will exert its utmost...

Since then the two colleges have come into ever closer relations. The clean playing on Saturday is the best indication that this friendly feeling will continue year by year and so strengthen a bond of international sportsmanship...
