At Montreal last week, Maroons and Red Wings skated wearily up & down the ice through four such periods of 20 minutes each, without breaking the tie.

The Princetonians who conceived this clever bit of humour are not to be censored. Youth must play: and deadly fatalism is quite as diverting as belligerent and shallow pacifism...
