...fourth tally, and within a few seconds Emmons repeated the trick. Half a minute from the close of the period Baker caught a pass from behind the cage for Number Six. With the return of the first line in the third period the University offense was maintained with renewed vigor. Bacon registered a clever score from a mix-up in front of the goal. George Owen, captain of last season's Freshman seven, was the only Crimson player to earn his letter for the first time against Yale, all the other participants having met the Blue on the ice before...

This is a total of 336 yards gained by one player, and is as impressive an individual performance...

"There are many things in life I want to reconcile: . . . . . the vigor and beauty of the Bible and the rusticity of its writers; the philosophic acceptance of a First Cause as inconscient as the telephone, and the strong inclination to say one's prayers; the faculty to cope with Kant and the childlike aptitude for faith; the sheepishness of the Shakespearean mask and the sublimity of the poet; the greatness of Queen Elizabeth and the pretentiousness of her virginity; the grace of Charles the Martyr...
