...hockey team won its first intercollegiate championship game from Princeton in New York on Saturday night by a score of 4 to 1. It was an exciting, fast game with the result in doubt until near the end. Foster scored a clean goal for Harvard in the first three minutes. After a period of even, hard playing, Leake scored for Princeton and the first half ended in a tie. In the second half Harvard played with much greater speed and accuracy and scored three goals by steady team work and brilliant shooting. Foster shot one and Souther two of these...
Among those who read this article there will be many, no doubt, who can offer suggestions or modifications for this plan. Would it not be a real kindness to 1906 and all subsequent classes to have a discussion of this reform, and if it seems desirable, to urge its adoption.

While we are legislating, therefore, we ought to exclude all men who come from the secondary schools solely for athletics. The difficulty is to find out who they are, as it is impossible to know the motives...
...served to simplify, but rather to complicate the situation at the ends. These two men and Coffin and Wilhelmi appear to be evenly matched in ability. All are heavy and only fairly fast. Shevlin and Wilhelmi are handicapped by inexperience in the position. There is little reason to doubt that the ends will be played by two of these men but to pick which two is at present practically impossible. The tackles have been the subject of constant coaching, especially in defense. Both Kinney and Hogan are developing strength in the tackles-back formations. Metcalf has played steadily at quarter...
...season. The University eleven defeated the West Point team Saturday at West Point by 14 points to 6. Though the score was at no time in West Point's favor, it stood 6 to 6 at the end of the first half, and the final result was in doubt up to the last few minutes of play. The University eleven worked diligently, but every rush was met by such a solid resistance that advances of more than from one to three yards at a time were almost impossible, and frequently there was no gain at all. West Point...
