...editorial from the H. A. A. News, reprinted in another column of this page, calls attention to a well-known situation but one which deserves frequent comment. The CRIMSON has often pointed out the ellieacy if not the necessity of a rink on Soldiers Field which would serve the entire University and make for complete separation from the Boston Garden...
What is needed most is a plant which will enable as many men as possible to skate and play hockey. The construction of just one rink which would be used by the University and Freshman teams the greater part of the time would hardly solve the problem. There should be at least two arenas so that House hockey and informal skating may develop to the fullest extent.

On the occasion of the Harvard-Yale hockey game, however, it is timely to call attention to the fact that Harvard's next required building is a covered ice rink, in which varsity contest with Yale, and in which House hockey, general recreational hockey and ice skating can take their place on the Harvard athletic program...

The New England winters are such now that outdoor skating can be guaranteed for only a few days. The Association is convinced that the present condition never can be remedied by open rinks at the field. H. A. A. News...
