Fast skating and a few examples of clever stick work were all that saved last night's encounter from being one of the season's dullest. The Cambridge coach, with Giddens back in harness, was obviously experimenting with his various forward line combinations, while the Boston team was handicapped by its lack of coordinated practice. The approaching tilts with the Yale sextet must still be regarded in the light of a rather mediocre record, despite the fact that many Crimson ice followers had hoped for a sudden reversal of form with the return of Giddens to the University lineup...

Pilgrims fled in terror, many fell, panic threatened. "The camel! The camel!" screamed some of the quick-witted. From the rear of the procession a brave cameleer spurred his loose-lipped beast forward to give the conciliatory bite. Fearful of its ears, the mad elephant fled trumpeting to the river, was eventually rounded up by two workmanlike tame elephants...
