Boyle Tells How Klondikers Lost
(1905)
“ Our team played gamely from first to last, but was dead on its feet. As an illustration of the effects of Friday's game it may be pointed out that Randy McLennan was unable to play tonight, and his place had to be taken by a substitute -- Fairburn -- and Randy's place in the team cannot be filled, as you know.In short, our team was broken up and in no condition to play in such a game as was put up against them. While our men have been traveling the Ottawas have been put through a course of training, and the players are, of course, in the condition of race horses. ”
