...action of the Athletic Committee, reported in your columns yesterday morning, there seems to be a move on foot to abolish all winter sports. Of all these sports, one of the most important is hockey. To abolish intercollegiate contests in this would be practically to do away with any interest in the sport, and would cut down the number of men playing, as there would be no call for a second team, and class teams would be made up of men now on the University squad. Hockey as a sport is one of the most exciting and probably the purest...
...argument in abolishing it,--that something must be done to appease the Faculty,--seems absurd. It is a poor policy to abolish hockey to preserve the schedules of the major teams intact, especially when the question at hand rose wholly from the major sports. It is urged that the hockey team plays too many games away from Cambridge.

Such figures as these certainly show no lack of interest in strictly intercollegiate sport...
...addition to the insignia already awarded to the members of the university hockey team who played in the championship games this season, sweaters will be given to the different members with the "Y. U. H. T." on them. They will also have the right to wear the "Y. U. H. T." with the crossed sticks on their caps, and the "Y. U. H. T." on their jerseys. The university basketball team will be awarded a "Y. U. B. B." It was decided to award a "Y" to the winners of the intercollegiate cross country run; thus henceforth the letter will...
