...rink, interfered with fast work. Though at times the University forwards played well together and were accurate in advancing the puck, their general play was poor. In following back they were often very listless. The defense was never strong, though in checking the opposing forwards, the men were somewhat more effective than in recent practices. At intervals the Freshmen played with considerable spirit, and they succeeded in scoring one goal in the first few seconds of play.

The men played aggressively and did more body-checking than at any other time this year. The team work of the first team towards was still somewhat ragged and they seldom had opportunity to shoot. In passing there was a slight improvement, especially in passes across the rink, but the forwards, for the most part, shot wildly.
