...only seven years since the 1910 Monthly board was in College. If their writing had then been scrutinized with a view to what the writers would do in such an emergency as that to which the world has come, what would the prophecy have been?

He is a fast back and uses his stick well, but fails to take advantage of all his openings. The exceptionally poor ice tended to slow him up as well as the rest of the squad and make real team play difficult...
