...program of outdoor events will be run off tomorrow. After the hockey game with Bishops College the regular carnival events will begin with the ski-joring race, when the carnival visitors will see a real thriller, with the fast horses and their drivers trailing behind on skis. The ski and snowshoe dashes, ski cross-country race, snowshoe obstacle race, a ski-jumping contest for boys under 14, and exhibition jumping by university and alumni jumpers wll complete the events of the afternoon...
Although showing some improvement over Monday's slow practice, the University hockey team has not yet recovered its speed and form. The regulars were unable to score on the substitutes and were defeated by the B. A. A. 3 to 1 in the Arena yesterday. There was no united effort among the men and each seemed to be trying to do his individual best at the expense of team play. The best work in the practice was done by the substitutes...
...Dartmouth hockey team, though weakened by the absence of Ross, the star goal tender, defeated the Yale seven in their annual "Prom," game at New Haven on Monday by the score of 2 to 1.

A fast game of hockey requires more "wind" than any other branch of athletics, except, perhaps, distance running, and a squad of strong substitutes is a great asset to a hockey team. In this lies much of the University's strength in hockey. The seven second-string players as a whole do not, of course, make as strong a team as the regulars. But the calibre of Coach Winsor's substitutes is such that several of them can go into a game at almost any time with practically no loss of power...
