...contrast between the widespread demoralization caused by the admitted evils and the narrow scope of the advantages, limited as they are to the handful of men who play in the great games. An editorial on the same theme supports Mr. Forbes's argument, quoting in defence President Roosevelt's somewhat illogical utterance in his recent speech in the Union, and attempting a reply to Professor Francke's criticism. But a discussion of the differences between German and American universities does not affect Professor Francke's main point, that President Roosevelt was not justified in assuming that the intercollegiate element...
...development of the Yale team has been somewhat slow. Considerable difficulty has been encountered in making up the team because of faculty regulations. In its first intercollegiate game, the team was outplayed by Dartmouth. Later it was barely able to win from Columbia. In the game with Princeton the score was 2 to 1, but the game was not as closely contested as the score would indicate. Nevertheless, the Yale team showed a distinct improvement over its former playing...

The playing of the Freshmen was somewhat listless, and on the whole the game was uninteresting. Frequently the Arlington forwards would carry the puck near to the 1910 goal, but they lacked team play and their shooting was weak. In the first half the Freshmen were easily superior, scoring four well-earned goals. The play became more even during the second half and a long series of rushes up and down the rink consumed most of the period...
