1923 HOCKEY MEN START ON ICE

Freshman hockey practice was regularly begun yesterday when the yearling squad reported at the Hill Pond at Arlington. L. M. Lombard '17, a former University player acted as coach for the squad of about 35 men. Practice for the afternoon consisted mainly of passing and shooting and other fundamentals of the game, no scrimmage or team play being attempted.

It is too early in the season to form a good estimate of the individual ability of the players but the material is promising and may be expected to develop into a fast team.

Practice for the 1923 hockey men will probably be held on the Hill Pond again tomorrow although if the Charlesbank rinks are available, the yearlings may be given an opportunity to play at Soldiers Field.
