...satisfaction, however, of witnessing a splendid contest. So speedy, furious--and even--was the game that each gripping moment promised to bring the thrill of victory, and yet each gave way to another quite as stirring. To the wearers of the Crimson go the honorable laurels of a brave defeat; to the warriors in Blue the sincere congratulations which any true sportsman must extend to the victors of a hard-fought fray. Marking as it did Yale's tenth consecutive major sport victory over Harvard, the men of New Haven may well be proud of last night's achievement...

Usually one of the most formidable of the University players, Beals' ineffectiveness last game had much to do with the defeat of the Crimson team, and the brilliant showing of Harry Scott, Yale forward. Beals has always sacrificed individual effort for team work, and his speed makes him potentially one of the best skaters in college hockey. In the Toronto game his work was of the highest order...
