...Five lettermen remain from last year's aggrecation J. N. Barbee Jr. '28, W. Van A. Coombs '27, Kenneth Dorn '27, J. D. Leekley '27, and Captain J. S. Malick '27. The ineligibility of S. C.

...first year men have been handicapped by the lateness and poor condition of the ice on the Charlesbank rink, but since the Christmas recess have been able to arrange several additional practices at the Arena. The Browne and Nichols team with three lettermen back this year has contended with similar unfavorable conditions.
