McGILL GAME CERTAIN

Contrary to current press reports the game between the University hockey team and that of McGill University will be played on February 10 as scheduled. This will be the only game the Canadian collegians will be allowed to play in the United States this winter. It has been found impossible to schedule a game with Columbia this coming Saturday, so that date still remains open, although an effort is being made to fill it.

Especially poor ice slowed up yesterday's hockey practice, making it hard for the men to keep their feet. A half hour of passing and shooting was followed by a practice game between the first and second teams in which the regulars scored twice and shut out the substitutes. G. Townsend '17 and G. A. Percy '18 were the two scorers. The former has been playing right wing since the game with the Boston Hockey Club just before the vacation and seems to be the most likely man for the final choice for that position.

Playing Generally Slipshod.

The general work of the team was slipshod, and though this was in part due to the condition of the ice, it was not wholly so. Frequently the puck would shoot out of a general scrimmage with no one following it and with no particular purpose. There was also a great deal of slashing stick-work, and though on the whole the men passed fairly well, a great many passes were wide or too hard or forward.

Abbot and Wylde Stars.

G. E. Abbot '17 had an excellent day at goal for team B. He stopped frequent hard shots, and once when Captain Morgan dashed down the rink and got by both defence men, Abbot went out to meet him and effectively prevented a score. J. I. Wylde '17, at goal for the regulars, also did well, not letting the puck by him once.
