The article supporting Professor Royce's view lacks the worst faults of the opposing statement, but is also inclined...
...University forwards worked well together, and had practically no difficulty in breaking up the opposing defence. The Canadian team, which had never played together before, showed very little concerted action, and the men, several of whom had not played hockey for two years, were in poor condition...
