...hockey team in its game with the Eli yearlings a week ago brought to a close a season of more than average success. In the nine contests engaged in the Freshmen won six, and though losing the final game on February 18 to Yale, more than atoned for this set-back by a succession of brilliant victories early in the winter, defeating such teams as St. Mank's Middlesex, and Dartmouth 1925 with comparative ease...
