Highly Favored Hockey Team Plays Army Squad in Home Game Tonight

The Army hockey team, fresh from a 3-0 thumping at the hands of Princeton, will take on a highly favored Crimson varsity at 8 p.m. tonight in Watson Rink.

The key to the game will be whether Princeton's Jerry Stonehouse, soccer co-captain injured late in the fall, will be able to play for the Cadets. He sat out the Princeton game, only a week ago.

Without Stonehouse's shooting skill--which accounted for 25 goals last year--the Cadet lines bounced pucks off the Tiger goalie's pads all night without being able to score. Army, in fact, outshot Princeton, 33 to 24.

Who will play on the Cadet first line if Stonehouse is absent is not yet definite. The regular wings are Dick Peterson and Bill Highston, but these men may be switched around completely if Stonehouse is not there. Highston scored 16 goals last winter.

Last winter the Crimson collected its 14th win of the 16 game Harvard-Army series by defeating the Cadets 3 to 1 at West Point. Army finished with a 16 and 8 record against small college teams. This year the cadets, besides losing to Princeton, have defeated the American International College, 13 to 0.
