...Elevating S" is a clever sketch by Mr. P. W. Thayer. The subject is not new; a rich philanthropist summons a Common loafer to dine because he wishes to life "one of these poor men . . . . from the street to a position of trust." There is, however, a striking novelty of diction which blinds us to the triteness of the material; and the author's style fairly bristles with delightful neologiams--such as "largesse...
...first team and the B. A. A. team. Both sides showed good team-work, and were evenly matched, the final score being 1 to 1. Sortwell shot the goal for Harvard, on a long drive through the opposing defence, while Osgood scored for the B. A. A. on a clever pass from Hicks. The game was followed by a 10-minute scrimmage between the B. A. A. and the University seconds, in which Leslie of the former team caged the only goal...

It was in this period that the two scores for the University team were made, the first by Phillips on a very brilliant piece of individual rushing, the second by Hopkins on an equally clever bit of work. Phillips took the puck from near the middle of the rink, and skating straight down the ice between the point and cover-point, skilfully avoided the man in goal and slipped the puck into the cage. This was after almost twelve minutes of the second half...
