Three minutes later Princeton, fighting hard but poor on team-play, lost the puck at the Crimson goal, and E. L. Bigelow '21 made a spectacular carry the length of the ice and netted a pretty shot from a difficult angle. He broke away again five minutes later and carried the puck into the goal...
Efforts instituted by the spectacular appeals of the men themselves are being exerted toward relieving the situation. These efforts are entirely necessary, but in the end they merely strive to eliminate the effects and not the causes of the difficulty. It is foolish to expect industry, however willing it may be, to create jobs arbitrarily out of pure patriotism.

Fairmindedness, however, demands recognition for a policy which lays partisanship aside and which substitutes a real consideration for the needs and obligations of the time. Let us hope that the appointment of so able a man as Mr. Hughes will be but the forerunner of official...
