...difference between ice polo and hockey is, roughly, as follows: Ice polo is played with narrow sticks and a rubber ball and the goal posts are 4 feet apart and 18 inches high. In hockey the players use sticks broad and flat at the end, and a block or "puck" of solid rubber. The goal posts are 5 feet apart and 4 feet high.

The ball being wet and slippery there was a good deal of fumbling, but apart from this, the backs put up a good game. Brine especially made one long run for a touchdown. He is rather light for a 'Varsity man, but runs hard and dodges well. Newell and Waters were both out coaching in football clothes and gave the opposing tackles some practical lessons in breaking through and tackling. Fairbanks, centre on last year's Freshman team, has been...
