...Freshman hockey team when they face the St. Pauls sextet at 10 o'clock this morning at Concord, N. H. In their losing contest with the University stick-men, the school-boys showed a serious lack of team-work but the individual playing of most of the skaters gave promise of a formidable sextet as soon as Coach Campbell could whip them into an evenly working team. Captain Davis is an especially speedy skater and several times he broke through the University line alone to threaten the Crimson cage. Working with him in the forward line is Ferguson...
...laid on the quick repass directly in front of the net. In the Westminster game the University forwards missed several fine chances to score in this manner. A Crimson man would pass beautifully from in back of the cage or from the side, only to have a Westminster skater get the puck instead of one of the other two University attackers. It was this fault that Coach Claflin attempted to obviate yesterday by having the entire forward line rush in close to the goal as soon as the pass was made...
...piling up a far larger score. On numerous occasions two Crimson men bore down on the Canadian secondary defense alone, one of them hanging off to one side where he could receive a pass and have a clear shot at the goal. But often the pass never came. The skater with the puck tried unsuccessfully to break through by himself, thus spoiling a play with excellent scoring possibilities. It is to obviate such tactical blunders that the Crimson coaching staff will particularly bend its efforts this week...
...Princeton Tiger met up with a landslide on the Arena ice Saturday night, and after forty-five minutes of one-way battling there was nothing left but a zero score to show that the New Jersey seven had been on the rink at all. Seven times a Crimson skater rammed the puck past Captain Maxwell, presiding at the cage for the Orange and Black, and only a remarkable display of dexterity and coolness by the visiting goal-tend kept the total from running well into two figures...
...have never caged a puck in a contest with Harvard since hockey became a major sport at Cambridge, failed to tally once during the three periods, the fight was nip-and-tuck all the way. Captain Justin McCarthy, right wing for the Blue and White, was the most active skater on the ice, driving down the rink and smashing the Crimson defense time and again. Rugged checking by Owen and Humphrey, and shifty foot and stick play on the part of Captain Bigelow were effective in keeping the M. A. C. forwards from pressing Holmes too hard...
