CRIMSON MEETS UNIVERSITY CLUB SKATERS TONIGHT

Harvard's hockey team will face stiff opposition tonight when the Crimson skaters play the University Club at the Boston Garden. Coach Stubbs has agreed to have the game played under the old amateur rules which bar offside passing despite the fact that Harvard will play most of its games this season under the professional code. The game is not official from the Harvard standpoint but has been arranged so that the University Club, Boston's Olympic aspirants, can try out various player combinations and improve its teamwork.

While adherence to the old regulations will probably hinder the smooth working of the Harvard attack, it should provide valuable experience in the Canadian style of game which the Crimson must adopt in future games with Queens and McGill which take place at Syracuse during the Christmas holidays.

Just which forward combination Coach Stubbs will start against the Olympic prospects is still a question veiled in considerable mystery. Cunningham, Everett, and Wood started the Tech game and Baldwin, Putnam, Saltonstall, and Hasler, Beale, and Pell seem likely trios. Various changes, however, will be in order.

Harvard's defenses will be given in charge to McGregor and Palmer with deGive guarding the net. None of these selections, however, are more than tentative. Crosby and Gleason should see much action as the season progresses. The latter is not in tonight's lineup due to a fractured arm, sustained in the 7 to 1 rout of Technology last week. Ware and Hale, goal tenders are also striving to earn a place in the regular starting lineup.

The University Club sextet, which hopes for victory in the tryouts against teams, from other sections of the country which will compete during December and January, has a powerful attacking forward line in Fitzgerald, Curtis, and Palmer.
