The President contends, as I understand him, that intercollegiate athletics promote college athletics in general, and that college athletics in general promote manly qualities--among them courage.

...first half was rather close, the final score being 14 to 6 in favor of Harvard. Throughout the game the play was very open and clean, only seven fouls being called.

...first period, after five minutes of play, Rumsey made a clean long shot into the net. Townsend soon followed with a goal, which was scored from a scrimmage near the goal posts. After a few minutes of rushing the puck around the rink, Rumsey suddenly scored during a scrimmage. After this goal the attack of the University team weakened and its opponents were able to keep the puck near Harvard's goal for a considerable time. The defense, however, was strong and prevented any scoring. Finally, Rumsey again got possession of the puck, rushed it the length of the rink...
