...practice of the University hockey team yesterday was of the most unsatisfactory nature. Coupled with a conspicuous lack of team play, was a most discouraging listlessness and absence of fight. As there were only twelve men on the ice, no regular game was played. The work consisted entirely of opposing the first team forwards to the scrub team, which was strengthened by the University backs. Besides allowing the scrub team to score repeatedly, the University forwards were unable to get even within striking distance of their opponents' goal, except once when they made their only score.

Three cups are offered as prizes, the first of silver and the second and third of pewter...

This, with a real comprehension of what citizenship means, is what the Republic is meant to teach all its citizens and does teach with extraordinary success...
...first half, such was the power already made evident by the Harvard team that a successful outcome was still expected with a large degree of confidence. To those who knew the real strength of the Harvard eleven it was a great surprise that Yale was able to fight its way down the field for four touchdowns, and the fact that the feat was accomplished shows that Yale had one of the finest teams that ever represented that university...
