...part of his term would have to be served. The other candidate is a member of the Graduate School who has for several years rendered conspicuous service on the board of directors and its principal committees. Many of the improvements in the conduct and equipment of the Hall in recent years have been mainly due to his careful and patient work.

In keeping possession of the puck the men were somewhat weak, although they shot hard and with fair accuracy. The defense was considerably aided by the quick work of the forwards in following back, and was fairly strong, although Newhall, at coverpoint, was weak in body-checking...
