...last Friday night proved somewhat disappointing for both teams--for Yale in their defeat after a close game, and for Harvard in the periods of apparent raggedness of play and inaccurate shooting. Since then, however, the team has been drilled principally in close team-work among the forwards and quick shots, and it is hoped that the improvement will be apparent in the game tonight...
...Harvard defense Claflin and Willetts are as good a combination as can be found in intercollegiate hockey.

But there was lacking that concentrated effort and quick following back that was so evident in the Princeton game, and which was largely responsible for Harvard's victory...

Driscoll was regular for the first part of the season, but was replaced in the second Princeton and the Dartmouth game by Schilier...
Harvard presents on her side a seven essentially consistent, team-play being the dominant feature. The great weakness of the team up to this time has been inaccurate shooting.
