...first hockey practice of the season was held in the Arena yesterday afternoon when a squad of 62 men reported to Coach A. Winsor '02. The work lasted over an hour and consisted chiefly of shooting practice for the wings and centres. There were so many men on the ice that it was a complicated matter to give them all a fair show. The line candidates were divided into two squads, one of which was composed largely of "H" men and veterans from last year's squad, and lines formed from each squad practised carrying the puck down...

Every coach, even Haughton, will make a mistake or two each season. Rush's great mistake this year was in placing too much faith in certain individuals, in believing that men would come through in the big tests, despite their failure in preliminary tests. It is not likely that a man who fumbles consistently...
