...game Saturday was hard-fought throughout, and especially in the second half. The University attack was strong, as usual, and by good team-play, clever stick-work and brilliant individual playing, kept the ball in Cornell's territory most of the time.

Huntington was as fast as ever and extremely valuable in following back, but Duncan seemed neither as fast nor as clever as last year, when his chief value to the team was his ability to knock in rebounds. One reason for this is that this year there is no forward who can get all the way up the rink for a shot. The position of left wing was filled by Sortwell almost...
