Harmon and Cox, the latter having moved up from cover-point to forward in the second half, were easily the stars on Yale's offence. The former was the fastest man on the ice and made several brilliant dashes down the rink only to find that he was all alone and Goodale and Willetts were too strong for him. The defence relied largely on bodychecking, in which they were occasionally a trifle over-zealous, three penalties being imposed on them for this. Schiller's work at goal has already been com- mented upon, but let it be said in addition...
...work of the University was on the whole very encouraging. Apart from the usual display of strength by Sortwell and Phillips, the work of Goodale at cover-point was the most noticeable. Goodale has been improving with great rapidity, filling Claflin's place so well that the team is little weakened by the latter's absence...

During the scrimmage considerable improvement developed in the passing among the first team forwards, who succeeded in scoring four goals against their opponents.
