...Massachusetts Agricultural College the most decisive game of the schedule came with Princeton in New York on January 27. Again the chief object of the whole Yale team was to cover Baker, and in this they succeeded, during the first half, although Carhart was given a number of difficult shots to stop by the Princeton forward line, and the Princeton forward-line generally meant baker. The half ended with the score 0 to 0. In the second half, however, the Princeton rover proved too elusive, and dodged through the forward line time and again.

...many people realize this? Almost none of those who need to realize it. The question then arises how can we start this interest. It is not a difficult task to convince a student that Italian paintings are worth while, or that he might get great benefit from studying the Meleager: he will admit that at the start. The trouble comes in trying to lead him towards the Museum, and bring him to the realization of what these treasures mean.

Judging from the results of last night's meet, the team should make a very creditable showing in the remaining dates of its unusually long and difficult schedule...

More and more the outcome depended upon kicking and, other things being equal, the side with the best kicker pulled out just ahead. When the punters were only fairly evenly matched, as between Harvard and Yale, the final score stood...
...gets more snap and dash into his work than heretofore. Huntington, although in the line-up as right centre, really plays a roving style of game and his most valuable asset is his great speed in following back and general defensive work. Right wing has been the most difficult place to fill, but Pierce is progressing well and seems to be the best man. The greatest weakness of the defence is its inability to body check and its inability to get the puck out of the corners. In this latter respect, however, much improvement has been shown since the Cornell...
