...course it's got the necessary ingredients. And it's pretty generally admitted that the hockey squad meets almost all the requirements. Judging from the season's showing, the Harvard offensive seems to have been working under wraps, and for no really good reason. Both forward trios could well afford to throw their cautions to the wind and play with a little more abandon. They think of getting back on the defense before they have actually bored in on the opponent's net. It's been this abandoned drive and punch which has carried the Elis along...
...points in front of him have been turning in an efficient performance on the whole. They are rugged enough to be able to use their bodies effectively, but can afford to do so even more. So far, however, they've been clinging too closely to the inrushing player after hitting him.

...periods. Middle westerners and southerners, representatives of a riding clan who cannot always afford to forget that polo is expensive, have long been in favor of shortening the game from eight chukkers to six. The short game would be cheaper because it would save ponies. A good pony costs from $1,500 to $10,000 and to make a showing in crack company a rider must have a new mount every chukker. The question of six periods was brought up last week but not decided...
