...University basketball team defeated the second team in a short practice game last night by the score of 20 to 12. In the ten minute halves the work of the University team was slow and lifeless, but this was probably due to the effects of the hard game with Yale on the preceding night.

Yesterday morning in the Stadium rink the University hockey team played a practice game of two 15-minute periods with the second team.

The work was as aggressive as that of any practice this year, but there was a great deal of roughness and fouling which kept the ball out of play much of the time. The offence showed a slight improvement; but the defence, especially at the beginning of the second half...
