Presenting an absolutely impenetrable defense, the St. Paul's boys launched the same kind of attack that has led them to such a long series of victories this year, with 7 goals scored against the Yale University team early in the season as the brightest feather in their cap. Captain Davis at right center was the best player on the ice with 3 goals to his credit, while Banes at point put up a remarkably powerful and vigorous defense game. St. Paul's scoring came entirely in the first two periods in each of which...
