Since the Columbia game last Saturday, the University team has improved materially in stick work and in ability to follow and keep possession of the puck. On the offense the forwards play together better, and in passing, especially across the rink, have become faster and more accurate. With the exception of Callaway they still fall, however, to follow back properly after losing the puck. The work of the men in this respect has been slow and ragged all season, and in a close game is likely to prove disastrous. The team is considerably weakened by the loss of Manning...
...game aggressively and shot their goals in rapid succession. Because of the failure of the Training School team to cover their opponents, the University forwards were able to advance the puck almost at will, and only the quickness of the Springfield point and goal prevented a larger score. In stick work the University forwards maintained their recent improvement, Townsend, especially, showing considerable ability in following and in keeping possession of the puck. In following back after losing the puck, however, the men were slow, and Callaway was the only forward at all effective in this respect...
...second half the Training School's defense materially strengthened, and owing to this improvement and to the inexcusably loose playing of the University team, only two more goals were scored. Frequently the University forwards would carry the puck down the ice only to lose it through careless stick work and listless passing in front of their opponents' goal...
...University hockey team defeated the second team by a score of 5 to 1. The first team played listlessly, as a result of the effects of Saturday's game, but the team work of the forwards was in general more finished than in any previous practice this season. In stick work, passing and keeping possession of the puck, however, the men were deficient and often very careless. With the exception of Callaway the first team forwards rarely followed back after losing the puck, and until the men learn to follow back quickly and together, the effectiveness of the defense will...
...stick work and passing were decidedly poor, and the shooting was low and weak. On the offense the first team forwards showed no team play and were very slow in recovering after losing the puck. Foster did the best body-checking of the year. J. B. Manning 3M. assisted Dr. Goodridge in coaching the first team defense...
