Hobey Baker Killed in France

In an exhibition flight shortly before scheduled to sail for America, Hobey Baker, former Princeton football and hockey star, met his death December 21, at Toul, France. While an undergraduate, he was captain of the Princeton hockey team and was one of the most brilliant players the game has produced. Throughout his athletic career he remained an amateur in spite of many professional offers. After graduation from college he played with the St. Nicholas Hockey Club of New York, which won the National Amateur Championship.

As soon as war was declared, he joined the aviation service.
