Hockey Team Plays B.U. in Garden

Local hockey fans will get a chance to see hockey at tea-time, when the varsity takes on B.U. in the Garden today at 4 p.m. Originally scheduled for a more conventional 9 p.m. face-off time, the game was pushed into the afternoon to free the Garden for an Eastern Hockey League contest.

Judged from previous B.U. Crimson games, though, this affair-B.U.'s opener-promises to be something more than a tea-party. Last year the Crimson scored three times in the last seven minutes to beat the N.C.A.A. finalists, 7 to 6, in the roughest game of the season.

He has been shifting the forwards slightly, moving Captain Lew Preston from left wing to center on the first line, with center Joe Kittredge going to the wing. If Preston's bad heel prevents his playing, Morgie Hatch will play the wing, and Kittredge, center. Hatch has been working with the third line of Amory Hubbard and Walt Greeley.

Defense, oddly enough, is B.U.'s weakness, according to coach Harry Cleverly. The Terriers lost, through graduation, their first rear guard combination of Walt Anderson and Walt Jurglevich, defensemen, and Ike Bevins, goalie. But five of their first six forwards are veterans; so powerful is the B.U. attack that co-Captain Jack Garrity, top national scorer, centers the second line. The lineup: HARVARD  B.U.
