...outplayed its opponents and kept the puck in Yale territory except during a part of the second half, when the Yale team redoubled its efforts. The University players showed exceptional team play, and followed back well, especially Captain Newhall, Town-send, and Macleod. Although the team was at times slow in Corner work, the shooting and passing were excellent. In other points the teams were nearly equal, as the Harvard team had the advantage in weight, but was slightly slower on its skates...
...advanced as at this time last year. The forwards fail to show a knowledge of their positions after a shot for a goal, or when the puck is in the corners. Some improvement has been shown in carrying the puck down the ice, but the men are still slow in following back. As was decisively shown in the St. Paul's game the forwards are weak in passing and shooting, especially when near their opponent's goal, and to win this evening the team must show such a distinct and unexpected improvement as was displayed against Columbia early...
...Captain D. Newhall at cover point plays a very aggressive and effective game, often carrying the puck the length of the rink and scoring alone. He lifts well and uses his body to excellent advantage, but shows a tendency to play too far out from his position. Pell is slow in following back, but his shooting is fairly accurate. At left centre Townsend is inclined to play too much by himself, but he follows back better than any of the other forwards. The fastest skater on the team is Macleod who is also the cleverest in the forward line...
...first half the Harvard team was slow and careless and seemed dazed by the fast work of the Worcester players. The formation plays were easily broken up and for a time Harvard was outclassed. After desperate work on the defense and several good shots from the floor, the University team took the lead. At the end of the first half the score stood 12 to 3 in Harvard's favor...
...work of the University team was wretched in every respect. The forwards did not line up as usual, but this change was hardly accountable for the marked lack of team play on the part of the entire team. The University forwards failed to cover their opponents and were exceedingly slow in following back. There was little passing and the shooting of all the men was very crude. As this was the first game in which Willetts has not played at point the defense combination was not as strong as usual. The play of the St. Paul's team...
