...catching department the University has undoubtedly the best backstop in intercollegiate ranks in R. Harte '17. Harte played a great game for his Freshman team, his stickwork being especially noteworthy. He has led the University batters for the last two years, besides playing a remarkably sure game behind the plate. Coach Duffy has little to worry about with Harte playing, and his only duty in the catching department is to develop a capable substitute. C. F. Fuller '19, regular catcher on his Freshman team, is the most promising of the other backstops that have reported for practice, although...

Baker '17 played one of the best games of hockey he has shown this year. He developed a remarkable amount of speed, and his stickwork, both in carrying the puck and in getting it away from the B. A. A. forwards, was the cleverest of any player on the ice. In spite of this he was unable to score any goals, although one of his passes to G. A. Percy '18 resulted in a tally...
