Another interesting facet of the game was a nine-year-old boy, who had difficulty in seeing over the boards, serving as goal judge. On one play, a Crimson lineman put the puck by the Williams goalie, Dick Marr, but no goal was signified when Marr reached into the cage and threw the puck...

As for the possibility of a relapse, Ike cited his doctors' opinions that in older men the chances were small; of the four other known cases...
