...local college hockey season, which was opened last week-end by Boston University and M. I. T. and in which Harvard and B. U. will play the second chapter when they square off at the Garden on Wednesday night, this year seems destined to be governed by the best officiating which local teams have seen in many years. At a recent meeting of New England hockey mentors and officials, definite steps were taken to have a uniform interpretation of the rules at all the games...

Like his predecessors, he requested special legislation from Congress which would permit a husband and wife to testify for (and against) each other in criminal cases; a grand jury to sit after the end of the court term; a consolidation to be made of all U.
