QUINTET DOWNED BY TIGERS; SEXTET TO FACE ELI IN ARENA

Favored Yale comes to town to meet the Varsity hockey team tonight at 8:30 o'clock in the Boston Arena, and the makings of an upset definitely seem to be in progress.

For two straight years the Elis have steamrollered the Harvard skaters, and the two 8 to 2 lickings they administered last winter were the worst ever to be absorbed by the Crimson at the hands of its ancient foe.

Revenge Element Vital

Thus there is plenty of the revenge element present, and the changes made during the last week by Coach John Chase have every capability of bearing a most luscious fruit.

By shifting Johnny Paine back to defense from his old position on the first line, Chase has not only bolstered the defense defensively by injecting more weight in these positions, but he has also greatly enhanced the offensive scoring potentialities of that section of his team.

For should Chase decide to pair Paine with Chuck Griffith, reserve defense man, in back of one of his first two lines, he would have five men who are capable of causing any goalie a considerable amount of worry, and in the end that may tell the story.

Yale has a won-lost record of 12 and four, which is considerably more impressive than Harvard's 9 and 7 reckoning, but in the League standings, both teams have lost three games, while the Blue stands ahead of Harvard by virtue of three wins as opposed to the Crimson's two.

Indians Beat Both Twice

Both have lost two games to Dartmouth and won two from Army. Here the Yale record against the Cadets is more impressive than the Crimson's, but Harvard stood up against the Indians better than Yale.

Against Princeton, Yale has split its two games, while the Tigers defeated Captain Summers' men in the last two minutes of the one game so far played. However, the Crimson has a victory over the Bengals to its credit as the result of the Lake Placid trip. All in all, there would seem to be very little to choose between the two teams on past records.
