...first week of hockey practice finds the University team weak on the offence and with a defence that has not had occasion to prove its ability. Better shooting seems necessary, for in yesterday's practice the first string line continually carried the puck up to team F's goal only to make inaccurate shots. The goal tending of B. Wells '19 kept the score down to a single goal by G. A. Percy...
Yesterday's hockey practice showed that the University team is slowly learning to play as a unit but is still far from this condition. The passing was still ragged and inaccurate, and the men frequently lost the puck by their inability to handle it cleanly. Toward the end of a ten-minute scrimmage between the regulars and team F, however, the centres, E. O. Baker '17 and G. A. Percy '18, began to work better together, often carrying the puck through the opposing defence, and were only prevented from scoring by the exceptional work of B. Wells '19, at goal...
...shooting practice in which the forwards showed unusual early season form, teams A and D of the hockey squad were sent into a practice game in which each scored two goals. W. W. Rice '18 secured one for team D in the first 30 seconds of play but the puck was around team D's goal most of the time. The passing and team-play of the regulars was much better than the previous day. G. A. Percy '18 scored both goals for team A while E. B. Condon '16 shot team D's final goal. Captain Morgan tried several...
...Individually the showing of the higher ranked teams was very good but there was little united work and the passing was ragged. Team A was able to defeat team B in the first game, when after about 10 minutes of play, G. A. Percy '18 shot the puck past G. E. Abbot '17, who was at goal for team B. H. M. Bliss '17 also scored a goal but was off-side at the time so that it was not allowed. Captain J. E. P. Morgan '17 shone on the defence with T. H. Eckfeldt '17, while E. O. Baker...
...that it was a complicated matter to give them all a fair show. The line candidates were divided into two squads, one of which was composed largely of "H" men and veterans from last year's squad, and lines formed from each squad practised carrying the puck down the ice. Pairs of backs were sent in later to face them. The goal guards for the veteran squad were J. I. Wylde '17, G. E. Abbot '17 and E. M. Martin '18, who alternated at stopping the puck. Although the ice was good, the men were naturally slow at shooting...
