Playing the Boston Wanderers for two 15-minute periods of hard-fought hockey, followed by another of five minutes which was featured by even stiffer play, the University informal hockey players were unable to do more than tie their opponents by the score of 1 to 1.

...Harvard eleven of 1916 is no longer a green team. They have been through the stress of a very hard-fought contest against a team which was physically their equal and against a team which was playing desperate football...
