...blackout is serious business, however. Any one willfully disregarding the orders of a warden is liable to immediate expulsion, and the severity of that penalty is well commensurate with the dangers arising from thoughtlessness during an enemy air attack. A repetition of the fireworks display put on by pranksters at the Business School during the recent Boston tryout, or of the shouting of Rhineheart in the Yard last Tuesday night, will not be tolerated by the University.

Captain Mechem led the '45 aggregation with a brilliant display of defensive skating, made even brighter by the solo scoring dash resulting in the Yardling's second goal. An opening line of Canadlens, Verrier, Beniot, and Gagnon, led the Rindge squad in their unsuccessful attempt to break the victor's victory streak...
