Seven minutes after the start of play Hutchinson, who started the half at centre for the All-Stars, tied the score again on a peculiar shot that bounced into the net over Holmes' stick. The winning tally came on another queer shot when Emmons shot out from behind the All-Stars' goal. The puck hit Donahue's skate and bounced into the cage, but there was some question as to whether it had gone through a hole in the netting or if it had slipped in from the front...
...stagger back to Cambridge and find our room-mates suffering from an overdose of turkey and discover that cranberries and ice cream have made us feel a little queer, we begin to realize that. Thanksgiving is all right while it lasts, but afterwards comes the reckoning. Morcover, we have another month before Christmas, and a month is a long stretch of time, especially when it happens to be December.

We found that the mind does not hold or lose its memory ideas in a mechanical way, but that everything depends upon purposes; ideas which are gathered with a certain aim quickly fade away when the motive is no longer effective. Hence our memories with all the feelings and emotions attached...
...Every ravine, every grove of trees, every secluded spot was packed to the limit with guns and shells, covered with canvas painted in the queer brown, green and black futurist style to avoid detection. Even white horses had to succumb to the brush of this futurist artist. Aeroplane hangars went up with astounding rapidity and French machines multiplied just as rapidly. The French control of the air during the last and vital month of preparation was one of the outstanding features of the whole thing. French planes hovered over the supply trains and bases, French planes swept across the lines...
