...second Yale hockey game will be played tonight in the St. Nicholas rink, New York, at 8.30. If the University team wins this contest, as it should after the brilliant victory in the Arena a few weeks ago the season will be ended and a Harvard team will have achieved another intercollegiate championship for this year. If, on the other hand, the University players have become over-confident from their recent successes, and Yale win the second game of the series as it did last year, another match will be arranged to be played in the Arena next Monday night...
...fundamental causes of the popularity and attraction of athletics lies, in the fact that all seasons in all forms of sport lead to a common goal--a contest with Yale.

A., the Princeton forwards showed some remarkable team-work, and the playing of the whole seven was clean and fast. Baker was in top form and received much better support than in the Harvard game...
...trim for hard playing, which resulted in a 3 to 1 victory over Dartmouth. Though this score was not as large as was anticipated, the defects brought out were far from serious or fundamental, and there is reason to expect that they will not reappear in tonight's contest. In the last practice before leaving for New York, held in the Arena Thursday evening, the University team displayed speed and excellent team-work, defeating the B. A. in a short scrimmage by the score...
