...this time last year. The forwards fail to show a knowledge of their positions after a shot for a goal, or when the puck is in the corners. Some improvement has been shown in carrying the puck down the ice, but the men are still slow in following back. As was decisively shown in the St. Paul's game the forwards are weak in passing and shooting, especially when near their opponent's goal, and to win this evening the team must show such a distinct and unexpected improvement as was displayed against Columbia early in the season. The work...
...cover point plays a very aggressive and effective game, often carrying the puck the length of the rink and scoring alone. He lifts well and uses his body to excellent advantage, but shows a tendency to play too far out from his position. Pell is slow in following back, but his shooting is fairly accurate. At left centre Townsend is inclined to play too much by himself, but he follows back better than any of the other forwards. The fastest skater on the team is Macleod who is also the cleverest in the forward line. M. Newhall at left...
Four of last year's players are back on the Yale team which is lighter and faster than the University team. In record the teams are fairly even. Both have won or tied all their games this season but whereas the University team defeated Princeton on January 20 by only one goal, the Yale team won from Princeton last Saturday by a score of 3 to 0. The game this evening promises to be one of the hardest of the intercollegiate schedule, with the chances of victory considerably in Yale's favor. The latter's team has played more games...
...University team was wretched in every respect. The forwards did not line up as usual, but this change was hardly accountable for the marked lack of team play on the part of the entire team. The University forwards failed to cover their opponents and were exceedingly slow in following back. There was little passing and the shooting of all the men was very crude. As this was the first game in which Willetts has not played at point the defense combination was not as strong as usual. The play of the St. Paul's team was in general finished...
...prospects for a strong crew this year are fair, as C. Lawson '05 and T. G. Mejer '05 who rowed five and seven respectively last year are the only men who are not back, and E. Farley '07 and E. George '03 are the only men from the four oar who are not still in the University. R. V. Arnold '08, F. M. Blagden '09 and M. R. Whitney are the most experienced candidates for coxswain...
