An injury received early in the Yale game, when he slid head first into the rink boards, necessitated his removal, and with him went the last vestige of the Princeton team play. This weakness in team play was the most apparent fault of the Nassau sextet...
Miss Ferguson seems least at fault. A trifle less lissome, perhaps, than in her earlier days, she is still the corporeal substance of a vision; still plays with the grace and subtlety that made her famous.
