...work was only very light, rowing by fours part of the time and at a low stroke for a stretch of about a quarter of a mile the rest of the time. The boats seemed to be quite steady for such early practice, and spaced fairly well. The two University boats were made up of men who have had considerable experience. The first Freshman boat also has in its make-up a considerable number of experienced men, and bids fair to develop into an exceedingly powerful eight...

It is only reasonable to suppose that they will look at the problem from all sides, and discuss fairly the pros and cons. Thus the Forum this evening, if well attended and enthusiastically supported, will outline clearly the undergraduate attitude toward making hockey a major sport, and this sentiment, expressed through fair and ample discussion, is the deciding factor. The student Council, representative of undergraduate opinion, will probably vote...
