...piece orchestra under the leadership of J. M. Parmelee '19, and this will be followed by a Keystene comedy entitled "Haystacks and Steeples." A monologuist will then address the class in a few well chosen words, the only speech of the evening. Douglas Fairbanks and Jewell Carmen will wind up the evening in their dashing photo-play, "Manhattan Madness...
...same thing is true of hockey. A fast game of hockey requires more "wind" than any other branch of athletics, except, perhaps, distance running, and a squad of strong substitutes is a great asset to a hockey team. In this lies much of the University's strength in hockey. The seven second-string players as a whole do not, of course, make as strong a team as the regulars. But the calibre of Coach Winsor's substitutes is such that several of them can go into a game at almost any time with practically no loss of power...

When it is stated that players standing in this half of the field were unable to see the south goal posts because of the sun shining in their eyes, when, also, the swirling wind currents coming from the direction of the sun are noted it will be patent that the outlying backs were laboring under a fearful disadvantage. Princeton of course recognized all this when she won the toss and elected to impose upon the Crimson the handicap of these factors. What Nassau expected...
