...rest was in store yesterday for the Crimson sextet that tied the Westminster players in the gruelling contest on Monday night, for Coach Claflin sent his men through another workout in the afternoon, when the team met the Melrose sextet in a practice scrimmage. The University skaters showed up well in spite of the strenuous play the day before, and they succeeded in nosing out their opponents with the same well organized attack that they used against Westminster. The work-out was part of the week's stiff schedule that Coach Claflin has planned in order to bring the team...
...absence of Crosby gave Coach Claflin a chance to thoroughly try out his substitutes and the experiment showed that there is great strength in the second string material.

Several times beautiful passes directly in front of the Westminster goal seemed on the point of resulting in tallies. Once in the third period Walker, dashing down the right alley, whisked the puck straight over to Owen, quite alone before the Westminster cage. The latter shot the disc by Reaume in completion of the best piece of team-play...
