...position. Pell is slow in following back, but his shooting is fairly accurate. At left centre Townsend is inclined to play too much by himself, but he follows back better than any of the other forwards. The fastest skater on the team is Macleod who is also the cleverest in the forward line. M. Newhall at left end is slow and does not use the sides to good advantage. His Shooting, however, is accurate. Although handicapped by an injury to his wrist Willetts continues to play his usual strong game at piont, characterized by hard body checking.

...cleverest and most original part of the play was brought in the dances. The freak dance and the monkey dance were extremely eccentric and were enthusiastically encored.
