UNIVERSITY SEVEN IMPROVES

The University hockey team defeated the B. A. A., 5 to 1, in a long scrimmage held in the Arena last evening. Play was hard and fast throughout, but somewhat crude, especially on the part of the forwards. Osgood of the Intercolonials took Winsor's place in the B. A. A. forward line, and Palmer and Baldwin substituted for Huntington and Sortwell of the University team, who were given a day off.

The most encouraging feature of the work was the ability of the University forwards to take the puck out of the corners. Failure to do this was one of the team's worst faults during the first half of the Princeton game, and improvement in it is more needed than in any other department of the game. In the work of carrying the puck down the ice, Willetts aided the forwards materially, and the whole defence played their usual strong game in breaking up the opposing attack.

The passing of the University forwards was somewhat improved and they shot well, but a tendency toward offside play was still very evident. Although they were not much superior to the B. A. A. men on the attack, they found the opposing defence rather easy to pass, and thus were able to score five times to their opponents' once.

The line-ups were as follows: HARVARD.  B. A. A. Baldwin, l.e.  r.e., J. W. Foster Duncan, l.c.  r.c., Hicks Palmer, r.c.  l.c., Osgood Pierce, r.e.,  l.e., Leslie, G. P. Gardner, Jr. Blackall, c.p.  c.p., Heron Willetts, p.  p., N. H. Foster, H. Foster, Jr. H. B. Gardner, g.  g., Canterbury
