...especially upon the track team that aura of victory must descend; it has won, for the first time since their establishment seven years ago, the Triangular Meet. This victory, well deserved by the unremitting effort of coaches and contestants, is doubly sweet, for it has been so long untasted. The University, without undue inflation of its hopes, is glad to find in these scores the augury of the oncoming season. With this happy beginning, the track team must go on with a lighter heart. And with no slackening of the thorough application of thought, strength, and skill toward the approaching...
...live wire of the production is Julius H. Marx. His aura is that of the Five Points, and his language is the patois of the unwashed, but he makes things go with a bang; and a refined Boston audience laughed with him continuously for two hours and seventeen minutes.

To inspire further jocularity, the men are compelled to wear diving suits to suppress the effluvia, while devoted friends visit them in gas masks. Eventually one of the men shoots himself, hounded to his grave by a smell...
...remembered, is the eastern hockey capital, so that teams appearing there have a calibre of play above the ordinary. Thus in addition to the league-leading Boston Hockey Club and the Maples who fought them to a tie Saturday night, the University has encountered three strong Canadian combinations--the Aura Lees of Toronto, McGill, and Toronto University...
