Princeton Letter.

The university hockey team brought its season to a close on Saturday, February 12, when it was defeated by Yale at New York by the score of 9 to 3. When the disadvantages are considered under which the team has labored, the season's work has been very creditable.

The university basketball team defeated Cornell on Saturday, February 11 at Ithaca; but was defeated by Columbia on Wednesday, February 15 by the score of 32 to 28. The latter game was very closely contested, the result being in doubt until the very end. On Saturday, February 18 the team defeated Pennsylvania at Philadelphia by the score of 28 to 20. The superiority of the Princeton players was noticeable in their team work, although the goal throwing of the Pennsylvania team was the better.
