Thanks for sharing. Interesting to see some of the language in these articles, such as "they fought pluckily" and "the Canucks put up a plucky defense"

Also, some of the names, such as Micklejohn and McGouldrick, really take you back to that era.

I wonder what became of that Stanford-Berkeley match. A bit of a tangent, but when exactly did hockey games go from halves to periods? I was curious about this in another thread, when I researched the first goal in Montreal Canadiens history: First Goals in NHL Team History

It's Alexander Meiklejohn, he also played with Cornell University.

My alma mater! Interesting to see that he went on to be on the cover of Time magazine. And a crowd of 2,000 for an 1894 match consisting of university players sounds pretty impressive to me.
