Palmer filled Sortwell's place creditably but he seems unable to work well with the other forwards, while Hanson, who later went in at left wing, lacks confidence. Blackall and Willetts did well in taking the puck down the ice, the former, in fact scoring one of the goals after a dash the entire length of the ice with Duncan. This play completely fooled the Cornell defence as they kept waiting for Blackall to make a pass...
...positions in the forward line have been unsettled. Up to the Princeton game it was doubtful who would play regularly at right end and as a consequence all four forwards have not been able to form a smoothly working offence. Until the Princeton game the passes from centre to wing were rather poor, and even now the men are not at all sure of their shooting, a defect shown in the last two practices against the B. A. A. With Pierce seeming practically sure of the right end position, however, by Saturday a much more effective offensive combination should...
...attack continued to keep play about the goal. Then the University forwards braced and after carrying the puck down the rink once or twice scored for the first time on a long shot by Huntington. Five minutes later Sortwell repeated with a wonderful shot from the boards in deep wing, and the half ended...
...first team's goals were made by Duncan and Sortwell, Duncan scoring one in the first half and Sortwell two in the second. Sortwell scored his goals by coming in unexpectedly from the wing on rebounds. Adams made the second team's only goal early in the second half on a shot from scrimmage...
...seems probable that Captain Huntington will fill one of these positions when he comes out, and that either Palmer or Pierce will play the other. Although both of the latter have been used to playing centre, the work of Palmer has improved consistently since he has been shifted to wing, and Pierce did well when tried out there for the first time on Friday. During the week Blackall has been given a thorough try-out in the forward line, but he is not fitted for the position, and will undoubtedly return to the defence...
