Season Prior to the Holiday break, team manager R. S. Woodward asked the university's permission for the ice hockey team to travel to Pittsburgh for a 4-game set against local athletic clubs. He did so because the ice hockey club was $75 in debt and the team was being offered $400 for the cost of expenses for the trip. Because the trip would take place during the school term, and because Columbia University policy prohibited any person or team with an outstanding debt from taking place in a public contest, permission for the trip was denied. Unfortunately the team had already committed itself to participating by signing a contract. As a result, when the team attempted to back out of the trip the Pittsburgh management threatened to sue. In an attempt to satisfy all parties, the ice hockey team reorganized itself as "The Columbia Hockey Club Team" and not as an official representative of the University. The team traveled to Pittsburgh to complete their terms of the contract before returning home. After the break school administrators ruled that the eight men who had participated had violated university instructions and would be barred from representing Columbia University or participating in any university athletic event for the remainder of the school year.Columbia University http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/?a=d&d=cs19010115-01.2.9&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Columbia Daily Spectator, Volume XLIV, Number 27 January 15, 1901 January 25, 2020 August 21, 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20200821091211/http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/?a=d&d=cs19010115-01.2.9&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- dead The disqualified students were: R. S. Woodward, A. Lawrence, A. Wolff, D. S. Hudson, A. Coggeshall, S. Campbell, W. Duden and F. X. O'Dwyer. As a result, the team was forced to reorganize with most of the freshman squad and play out their Intercollegiate Hockey Association schedule. It wasn't much of a surprise when the team took a step back after a solid 1900 season.Columbia University http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/?a=d&d=cs19010118-01.2.12&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Columbia Daily Spectator, Volume XLIV, Number 28 January 18, 1901 January 25, 2020 August 21, 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20200821090732/http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/?a=d&d=cs19010118-01.2.12&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- dead After the season all members of the team were reinstated with the exception of R. S. Woodward. This was done primarily so that the other teams the players were involved with were not punished as a result of the actions of the ice hockey management. Additionally, the administration expressed its appreciation at the way that the replacement team handled itself during the intercollegiate series.Columbia University http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/?a=d&d=cs19010312-01.2.4&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Columbia Daily Spectator, Volume XLIV, Number 39 March 12, 1901 January 25, 2020 August 21, 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20200821103859/http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/?a=d&d=cs19010312-01.2.4&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- dead Note: Columbia University adopted the Lion as its mascot in 1910.The American College https://archive.org/details/americancollege00usgoog 1910 Higher Education Association 162 Roster yes Albert J.
