...late hour last night the honors stood about even, each outfit having induced one "ringer" and one "leaner" to join the ranks. Stars will abound on all sides, and it is rumored that the river men will uncover their latest plans for breaking the ice. Despite the bravado of the Cabin Boys from the Charles, the odds have been set at 23 to 13, in favor of the custodians of the puck bag. Past performances give them the edge, for although they lack team-work and have no great individual brilliance, they have undoubtedly made it hot for the University...
...tarts could be purchased by the students. It was known as the Buttery, and was conveniently situated in the recorder's office. It was presided over by the Head Butler, who was a College graduate and who received 60 pounds a year for being College barkeeper, recorder, stationer, bell-ringer, and janitor...

Wanamaker, who went in for Clark in the second period, scored three goals, mainly as the result of clever passing and stickwork. Phillips distinguished himself by his speed and hard shooting...
...general opinion among Seniors who have the privilege of rooming in Hollis or Stoughton that the obsolete custom of having prolonged bell-ringing at seven A. M. is a nuisance, and that as such it should be discontinued. It is unkind to oblige an octogenarian bell-ringer to be disturbed unnecessarily early every morning, and it is certainly unreasonable to oblige him in turn to disturb all the students of those two dormitories by a noise which has no object and no excuse. Most men in College do the bulk of their work not in the morning early...
