...last Saturday they set a new record, as never before have the Elis run up so high in score against Harvard in ice hockey. In the only other series which Yale won in straight games the Blue captured one of the clashes in New York by a 5-3 margin, but from that time until Saturday's defeat this score made in 1902 has never been equalled...
...sick-list complications end in a stalemate, the comparative scores for the intervening three weeks shed little more light. Harvard defeated by a 2-1 margin the same Tiger Outfit that four days later shut out Yale 1-0, but in turn the Crimson slumped, and bowed to Dartmouth 4-3. In the minor games the Elis downed B.

An A is fallaciously assumed to represent a definite standard of attainment, in any or every course and scholarships, privileges and what not are decided by the margin of a B based on one system over a C based on another.
