Although playing ragged hockey from start to finish, the University hockey team defeated the Cornell seven 2 to 0 at the Arena last evening. The visitors showed that they had been handicapped by lack of practice, but seemed to promise better for later in the season. The stickwork of the University team was wretched and the inability of the forwards to receive passes cost them innumerable chances to score. W. Morgan was the only man to play a wing position with any effectiveness, and the entire line showed a tendency to play out of position, so that whenever an opportunity...
...front ranks of this season's hockey players. The right wing, MacDonald, is probably next to Sweeney, the best player on the Yale seven. Like Townsend, of the University team, he is somewhat handicapped by his small size and lack of weight, but his quickness and remarkable stickwork more than make up for this deficiency. He is an exceptionally hard shooter and in play off the boards is excellent. Bierworth, at coverpoint, is a strong defensive player and, with Herron at point, makes up a defence that while probably not as formidable as the University defence, has nevertheless shown...

Wanamaker, who went in for Clark in the second period, scored three goals, mainly as the result of clever passing and stickwork. Phillips distinguished himself by his speed and hard shooting...
...first score of the scrimmage was made shortly after the opening of the period by Hopkins, who received a pass from Sortwell from behind the goal. Phillips followed with another score, getting the puck out of a scrimmage by clever stickwork. Claflin made the third goal on a long, hard shot from the middle of the pink. The University team's final tally was the result of a fast dash up the ice, in which good passing figured prominently; Sortwell scoring the goal...
...displayed excellent team-work and with a fast attack and some good passing kept the playing continually around the B. A. A. team's goal. Palmer, who replaced Phillips at right centre during the latter half of the scrimmage, played a star game, scoring two goals by his excellent stickwork and fast playing on rebound shots. The defence showed great improvement keeping the B. A. A. forwards well in check, and allowing them few chances to score. A particularly encouraging feature of the work was the effective way in which the defence men got the puck out of the corners...
