At first the two lineups were changed frequently and no team-play was possible. Later, the first-string sevens were put on the ice and played a short game. Both of the contests were won by the Freshmen. E. Cabot '20 and J. Stubbs '20 were the informal stars, while the whole 1921 combination played well together...
