...breaks that gave the Redmen such a high score, and this outfit excepted, Harvard certainly has the best College hockey team in America.

The chance was improved when Lee, starting his free figures with double Salchow jumps (two revolutions in the air) twisted his left knee so badly that, through the rest of his five-minute routine, he had to switch from his left foot, on which he usually takes...
