...second Yale game was rough, confusing, and played on the New Haven Arena's pencil-shaped ice surface, but it followed fairly closely the pattern of most recent Crimson games. The team played uncoordinated, indecisive hockey for two periods, then caught fire in the final 20 minutes and turned a close game (it was tied three all at the beginning of the third period) into a rout...
...hence to talk clearly-a man must not only be conscious of the abstracting process, but he must also know the nature of a fact. He must remember that he never knows all about a "fact": there is always, as the count says, the "etc." Secondly, a fact (pencil x or John Smith) is not the same today as it was yesterday.

Both the test paper and the stencil are then placed in a slot up against a panel of thick copper pins. When the machine is turned on, the pins pick up all pencil marks that show through the spaces in the stencil, because pencil marks made with special pencils, conduct electricity. The rest is simple. The machine just "counts" the number of electrical impulses and then stamps it on the exam paper...
