...long and hard scrimmage held in the Arena yesterday evening. The effective work of the University forwards in following back and breaking up the opposing attack again did most toward preventing their opponents from scoring, but the latter lost a number of easy chances for goals through poor shooting. The work of the University team showed improvement in this department though several good opportunities were missed. Pierce and Huntington made the two goals...
...forward line have been unsettled. Up to the Princeton game it was doubtful who would play regularly at right end and as a consequence all four forwards have not been able to form a smoothly working offence. Until the Princeton game the passes from centre to wing were rather poor, and even now the men are not at all sure of their shooting, a defect shown in the last two practices against the B. A. A. With Pierce seeming practically sure of the right end position, however, by Saturday a much more effective offensive combination should go against Princeton...
...years ago we did have a swimming team in which there was a real and general interest.

...University hockey team held a long and rather slow scrimmage with the B. A. A., in the Arena yesterday evening, which it won by the score of 1 to 0. Owing to poor ice neither team could carry the puck well, consequently play seemed disorganized. The University forwards were unable to get started together and failed to keep in their places; but owing to the team's defensive work had more chances to score than the B. A. A. All but one of these were lost through weak and inaccurate shooting. Pierce made the only score by quick stick work...
...Princeton and Cornell teams will play the third game of the Intercollegiate Hockey League series at Syracuse tonight. Princeton will probably win, as Cornell has made a poor showing so far this year, even against comparatively weak teams...
