'53 Hockey Team Slightly Favored At Andover Today

Riding on a three-game winning streak, Stan Priddy's freshman hockey team goes to Andover today to take on the prep school sextet in a game starting at 2:15 p.m.

The freshmen should make it four straight. Their season so far has been marred only by a pre-vacation upset by Melrose High in a last minute substitution for a game scheduled with the Brown freshmen. The substitution proved an unfortunate one for the '53 skaters, for they have since had an easy time in a home game with the Bruins.

Melrose, on the other hand, had several warm-up matches before meeting the Crimson, and has recently taken over the lead in the strong Greater Boston Interscholastic League.
