...caused the University tennis team to go down to a 6-3 defeat at the hands of the West Side Tennis Club of Forest Hills in a match played Saturday on the latter's courts. All but three of the matches went to three sets and were nip and tuck throughout. Captain de Turenne opposed W. M. Washburn, ranking player and member of the Davis Cup team, but although he played on the offensive most of the time, finally lost 7-5, 6-8, 6-3. Fenno and Feibleman were the Crimson victors in the singles, taking their matches...
...Maine team is a strong outfit with a powerful scoring combination. Spratt, the visitors' veteran center, is very fast and an accurate shot. The Bates outfit recently defeated the Portland A. C. in a nip and tuck game and lost its contest with New Hampshire State by a slim margin...
...periods of nip-and-tuck scrimmaging left both sides scoreless, and when G. Burnett, playing at center for the visitors, lifted a long shot from mid-ice towards the Crimson net, a tally seemed little likely. The puck took a sharp rebound from the back-boards, however; Holmes caught the rubber on his stick to pass, it down the ice, and an unfortunate twist lodged it safely in the net. No opponent was within ten yards when the play occurred...
Although the visitors, who have never caged a puck in a contest with Harvard since hockey became a major sport at Cambridge, failed to tally once during the three periods, the fight was nip-and-tuck all the way. Captain Justin McCarthy, right wing for the Blue and White, was the most active skater on the ice, driving down the rink and smashing the Crimson defense time and again. Rugged checking by Owen and Humphrey, and shifty foot and stick play on the part of Captain Bigelow were effective in keeping the M. A. C. forwards from pressing Holmes...
Half an hour of nip-and-tuck scrimmaging between the University squad and the M. I. T. skaters featured the practice period yesterday afternoon. No score was registered throughout, frequent substitutions being made on both sides. The McNeil brothers, Dan and Neil, the former at center and the latter at point in the Tech line-up, promise plenty of trouble for the Crimson team when the two teams meet in a regular set-to on February 18. Captain Du Vernet at cover-point and William Caldwell at right wing also put up an aggressive game and will have...
