There is a general sentiment among those who have played hockey and would like to continue to develop their interest in this sport, that the college is not providing the facilities to allow an appreciable number to participate in the game. Hockey is supposedly a major sport, yet there are a scant sixty members of the university who are getting regular experience in this event. Compare this number with any other sport, football, baseball or even the recognized minor sports, squash, swimming, and wrestling for example.

Formerly the Freshmen were given the opportunity to play interdormitory hockey, but this has been given up. We are told that, owing to adverse weather conditions, it was impractical to attempt to maintain a rink out of doors.

...same time an apparent offshoot of them, is the gradual change in the psychological attitude of the undergraduate toward those mores that once were considered the essentials of good sportsmanship. If this phenomenon were evidenced only at Princeton in such recent unpleasant flurries of booing as at the Yale hockey game and the Penn basketball game, we might possibly have regarded it as a momentary and localized lapse from gentlemanly conduct which would not soon recur. But with disturbing remembrance of similar demonstrations at baseball games last spring suddenly came a shower of editorial comment from our contemporaries, which aroused...
