...Sacremento Valley. Under favorable circumstances this eclipse will be visible over a strip of country one hundred and twenty miles long; it will also be visible as a sunset phenomenon in Canada near Lake Superior, and as a partial eclipse as far east as New York. Owing to the wide range of country from which the eclipse is visible an excellent chance is offered to solve various problems concerning the sun's course and the amount and intensity of the light emitted under the given conditions...

Reisner and Naumberg also did good work in keeping their goal clear. Ninety-one had at least a dozen clear shots at goal, but all went wide. The attack crowded into goal badly, instead of drawing off, and seemed confused by their very superiority in numbers. A little cool, strong play would have made the score roll up to eight...
