...University hockey squad returned to Boston on Tuesday and since then has practiced regularly in the Arena. N. H. Foster '11, cover-point on last year's team, who has been sick for some time, reported again. A practice game was played on Thursday with Brae Burn, the University team winning, 4 to 2. The usual aggressiveness was lacking, and Huntington, Hornblower and Duncan alone did conspicuous work.

The play was very even in this period, the half ending with the score 2 to 2.

Houston, at cover-point, did the best work for the Freshmen...
