CRIMSON SEPTET DONS NUMBERS AT PRACTICE

Crimson hockey players will wear numbers on their jerseys when they skate out onto the Arena surface against the speedy King's College seven tomorrow evening. The numbers appeared in use at the brief practice session at the ice place yesterday, consisting of white numerals on the red jerseys of the forward line and red figures on white bands on the defense players.

Hot-house methods are in order on the University hockey squad this week. The extremely short practice periods allowed because of the popularity of the Arena with skaters from several colleges, and the difficulties of shaping a team in less than one week to meet a seven which has been at top trim for more than a month call for strenuous effort. Alfred Winsor '05 was on the ice again last night, giving his aid to Coach William H. Claflin '15, and the twenty-five minutes of smashing scrimmage was featured by the fastest work yet shown by the Crimson squad.

Captain E. L. Bigelow '21 netted the sole tally of the play. Team A lined up as on Wednesday, with R. W. Buntin '21 still at left center. H. B. W. Snelling '21 was tried out on a wing position on Team B, and if he proves capable at this new berth will doubtless be ranked as a first substitute wing, to relieve F. McN. Bacon '21.

The King's College team, who arrived in Boston Wednesday and held a practice drill in the Arena will meet M. I. T. tonight, playing a six-man style of game. The University seven will see the contest and get a line on the visitors. Seven players will be the rule tomorrow night, it was agreed by Coach Claflin and the Canadian management.
