...Crimson hockey squad resumed practice yesterday afternoon after Wednesday's lay-off by going through a hard 35-minute scrimmage against the B. A. A. sextet at the Arena. The ice was exceptionally good and as a consequence the playing of both teams was speeded up considerably. Coach Claflin's combination was handicapped by the absence of Martin, who was given another day of rest, and Larocque, who will not be able to take part in practice until next week...
...possible that one of the local Boston teams, the B. A. A., Pere Marquette, or West minister sextets, will play the Crimson the middle of next week, but such a contest has not yet been definitely arranged. It is fairly certain, however, that Saturday evening, January 14, Coach Claflin's men will face Dalhousie University at the Arena...

This season the second-string men have not developed in the most encouraging way. Larocque is the only substitute whom Coach Claflin can at present intrust with right wing and center. There are four other forwards who should develop in the next week or two, so that they may be used in giving breathing spells to the regulars. These four men are Cabot, Lamount, Lee, and Phillips. Coach Claflin will give special attention to them in the next...
