Before a crowd that taxed the Arena to its capacity Saturday night the Princeton hockey team retrieved its defeat of a week and a half ago by beating the University seven, 3 to 2, in a hard-fought contest. As was expected, Baker, the Princeton rover, was the star of the game and his dashes down the rink easily put him on a par with Ross and Taylor, the two Canadian professionals who played here last winter.

...half-hour scrimmage in the Arena yesterday evening. Blackall and Willetts continued their excellent work on the defence, and a marked development both in speed and team-play was noticeable in the forward line.

Duncan scored both goals, pushing the puck through Foster after it had been passed in from the wings...

In the second period the Yale defence was able to keep Princeton outside the danger zone and, although Kay, who played rover for Princeton, shot again and again, no score was made...
