The 2/1/1905 edition of the Signal states: "Trinity cancelled her game scheduled for Jan. 28 at the Drill Hall on only one day's notice, finding that the game interfered with examinations.  Manager Gardner has made arrangements for a game with the Northampton Y. M. C. A. to be played tonight at the Drill Hall."((https://archive.org/details/collegesignal02mass/page/n39/mode/1up))
