...shells presented to the University boat club by W. C. Baylies '84 and S. Shillito '79 were injured in shipment form England on the steamship Georgian. During a storm one of the life boats broke loose and fell upon the box containing the shells, breaking off four feet of the stern of the eight-oar and crushing the bow of the four-oar. It cannot be ascertained whether there is any further damage until an examination is made by the insurance officers...
...first half the small size of the rink, to which Yale was well accustomed, had a noticeable effect on the Harvard seven, and there was very little attempt at team-play. The Yale forwards, on the other hand, showed unexpected speed and always broke up the passes of their lighter opponents. Consequently the Harvard forwards tried individual work which met with no success against the concerted defence of Swenson and Brooks...
...Yale hockey team defeated Princeton Saturday evening at the St. Nicholas Rink, New York City, by the score of 1 to 0. The game was roughly contested and as the score indicates, neither team had any decisive advantage. The heavier Yale forwards broke up Princeton's team-play and during the first half the play was very even. Princeton's forwards made the greater number of shots but Carhart, Yale's goal, stopped every attempt. Towards the end of the period, while Blair. Princeton's point, was off the ice, Cox scored from a scrimmage for the only goal...
...first event, the 40-yard dash for novices, F. O. Bergquist '12 broke the tape in 5 seconds. After this event came the handicap dash, in which P. G. M. Austin '13, with three feet handicap, finished second. The next race, the half-mile run, was entirely Harvard's. With a lap to go, S. Nichols '13 took the lead, followed by P. R. Withington '12. Then H. M. Warren '13, running with fourteen yards handicap, broke loose in the last sixty yards and passed both Nichols and Withington, beating the former by six inches in 2 minutes...
...University forwards tried to use team-play, but the Columbia team stayed very near its cage and broke up almost all attempts at combination play. This difficulty would have been over-come if the forwards had not tried to carry the puck so close to the goal before shooting. As in the game against St. Francis Xavier, the University forwards followed back well and aided materially in protecting the defence. The Columbia team was weak in all departments of the game, Harding and Trimble being the only men who could carry the puck for any distance...
