...teams which played in the Stadium this fall clad in Crimson jerseys would seem to satisfy a number of voluble critics. And such a team does not seem very far off unless the newspapers can get professional hockey started by the week before instead of the week after the close of the football season...

And dire would be the confusion should Pennsy break this Methuselean lease. Passengers from Philadelphia would climb out at the N. Y.-N. J. state line at Trenton, pray for motor lorries to carry them to Jersey City, whence they might proceed through Pennsy tunnels to Manhattan...
