HOCKEY.

The only major sport in the winter months, hockey begins its first year in the category of the major group of athletic activities with good promise. The material is good and there is plenty of it; that is, if all who are in any way capable of doing anything in the way of the game are on the ice today. We refrain from making the same old points about practice being necessary, enthusiasm on the part of the students being essential, etc. Undergraduates realize all these things. We should be very sad if they surprised us by failing to provide any of the requisites. And besides we have another chance at Yale and Princeton in the three-game series; and Dartmouth is not among the missing on the hockey schedule. A strong start goes a long way towards a sweeping finish.
