...Freshmen by a score of 9 to 3. The play was hindered by the severe wind which, blowing across the rink, interfered with fast work. Though at times the University forwards played well together and were accurate in advancing the puck, their general play was poor. In following back they were often very listless. The defense was never strong, though in checking the opposing forwards, the men were somewhat more effective than in recent practices. At intervals the Freshmen played with considerable spirit, and they succeeded in scoring one goal in the first few seconds of play. On the offense...
...score of 8 to 2. The playing of the University team was very ragged in all departments of the game. On the offensive the forwards seemed unable to keep up with the puck; while Wilder and Townsend were very slow in their stick work and did not follow back well. The defense was also ineffective, owing in great measure to the frequency with which Newhall left his position at coverpoint to play among the forwards. Tilden, moreover, was weak at goal. The Freshmen played aggressively, but were weak in passing and shooting. The line-up: UNIVERSITY TEAM. FRESHMEN. Grant...
...University forwards skated fast and kept together well. They followed back more often and more effectively than at any time since the Princeton game last Saturday, and their play throughout was marked by a dash and aggressiveness which has been lacking in the recent practice. In keeping possession of the puck the men were somewhat weak, although they shot hard and with fair accuracy. The defense was considerably aided by the quick work of the forwards in following back, and was fairly strong, although Newhall, at coverpoint, was weak in body-checking...
...second team played better hockey during the greater part of the game, but were unable to score after advancing the puck. On the offense the first team forwards were ragged in team play, seemed unable to keep possession of the puck, and, as usual, followed back poorly. The defense was fairly strong and Tyer, at goal, made several difficult stops. The second team forwards were better in stick work than the first team men, were much faster in following back, and gave more assistance to their defense. Coach Goodridge played on the second team...
...last few minutes of play was it able to tie the score. The forwards played loosely and after almost every advance allowed the second team defense to get possession of the puck. Callaway, as usual, was the only first team forward who was at all quick in following back. In this respect the second team outclassed the first and prevented several goals by their fast work. Of the first team defense Foster was fairly effective, but Newhall played too far out from his position and was weak in body-checking. The second team defense was stronger than at any previous...
