...held last night in Holworthy 9. Captain J. P. Willetts '09 outlining the plans for the coming season, said that there would be no gymnasium practice or runs as was the case last year, as it had been decided to wait until practice could be held on the ice. He urged the men to begin training now as the first game, that with Columbia, would come soon after the Christmas vacation. When the ice is suitable there will be regular class teams and class captains will be elected. Coach Donovan, who was trainer of the University squad last year, then...
...Baldwin began his lecture by describing the conditions in the Arctic Sea. There exist vast ice-packs that move slowly along the course of least resistance. The obstruction of Greenland and America on one side and of Asia and the northern archipelago on the other keep the ice in the Arctic Sea. Much of it piles up on the shores in great packs; the rest is forced by the southern winds from Alaska in a narrow path across the polar regions. A cache set adrift at Point Barrow on the Alaskan coast by Captain Melville of the Jeannette, was picked...
...Baldwin-Ziegler Polar Expedition and Plans for Future Polar Research" in the Living Room of the Union tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock. He will outline, for the first time, his new theory for reaching the North Pole, which he hopes to employ in his next Arctic expedition. Vast ice-floes, starting from Behring Sea, have floated across the comparatively open water around the North Pole, into the region near Greenland. Mr. Baldwin intends to establish a camp of portable houses, with an adequate supply of fuel and provisions, on one of these ice floes and to drift with...
...such as they are fitted for. All of them are essentially winter sports and do not exist at other seasons of the year. Imagine attempting to play basketball in the spring or autumn in a hot gymnasium. Hockey can only exist at the present time when there is ice, and even with a rink, nobody would want to play it in warm weather. These different forms of athletics are to be given up entirely (for to my mind that would be the result of an abolition of intercollegiate athletics) merely because they happen to be sports fitted for indoor work...
Little can be said for the CRIMSON team except that it failed to show its usual brilliant form. The ice was much littered up with prostrate ha-ha boys who, falling, held on like grim death to the nearest skater. This, together with the fact that the Lampoons were more accustomed to the glare of the lamp lights, disconcerted the CRIMSON skaters with the aforementioned result. The puck escaped injury...
