Although the water was smooth considerable trouble was caused by the cold and before the crews returned from their one-mile row a light snow had started to fall. In spite of it, however, the fact that the boat club showers were out of order gave occasion to a few members of the squad to take a plunge...
Coach Winsor put the hockey squad through their last practice of the season in the Arena yesterday afternoon, and brought the long preparation for the final Yale game to a close with an unexpected 45-minute scrimmage. In spite of the absence of Captain Morgan the seven played a strong game, and showed that the loss of even the most important member of the combination would not greatly hamper their work at New Haven tomorrow night. Appleton, playing point in Captain Morgan's place, carried the puck well and was aggressive on the defence, although not as consistent as possible...
However, in spite of the discouragement of Captain Morgan's absence, Coach Winsor put the squad through its last long practice yesterday afternoon with as much snap as usual.

Captain E. A. Teschner '17 lost the pole on the toss and slipped in starting, but in spite of this handicap almost beat Doyle of Holy Cross to the corner. For the rest of the first lap Teschner ran close behind his man, forging ahead on the back lap of the second and giving over to W. H. Meanix '19 a lead of three yards. Meanix maintained this distance for the full quarter, and H. W. Minot '17, running a beautiful race, lengthened the lead to 25 yards. Although Kelley, the Holy Cross anchor man, made a desperate effort...
