After this the University forwards began a more aggressive game and scored four times. All of the goals, moreover, came after the line had gone through the opposing defence. The passing was good in spite of the sticky ice. The individual scorers were E. Cabot '20, A. H. Bright '19, J. G. Coolidge '20 and R. Hoffmann '19.

During the first part of the period the men skated around the rink to accustom themselves to the artificial surface. Actual practice began when Gross chose four sets of forward lines and sent them down the ice against varied defence combinations. Emphasis was laid on accuracy and sureness rather than on speed, the men being coached to play slowly and carefully and to remain in their positions. After this the defencemen were given...
