...Thursday the team plays its first regular game of the season with Technology. Although a scrub team composed mainly of University players was only able to tie Technology in a practice game a week ago Saturday, the regular team should win easily on Thursday.

The second rink will be placed in this position because of the ease with which it can be kept banked and flooded, and will probably be used for the scrub hockey series, while that in the Stadium will be used for the Freshman team. Work will probably be started on these rinks some time this week...

When the ground freezes, the two hockey rinks in the Stadium will be flooded and at that time the Freshman candidates will be called out. Immediately after the Christmas recess the scrub hockey teams will be organized, and soon afterward upper-class captains will be appointed...
