In bewilderment, Coste exclaimed to the military court: "Gentlemen, does a uniformed servant of the state have the right to discuss law and obedience to the law?"

After a faked pass to Taylor, ten feet to his left, Forbes moved slightly toward the side of the rink and fired the Crimson's sixth goal. A pass from Jorgenson had set up the play...
