...next Monday evening, February 11, at 8.15 o'clock. Actual practice will commence the following day when the battery candidates for both nines will be called out. Practice will be held daily in the cage, which will probably be heated, as will the Locker Building if the present cold snap comes to an end. The fielders will not report until later in the season, possibly not until the teams start outdoor practice, as it is expected that the cage will be used by the R. O. T. C. for part of each afternoon during March...
...scope per fortnight can be found to show the war-time activities of the University, but the allotment of pictures in the current number is a trifle unusual. The same photographer who went to Princeton also got up early enough to snap one of the R. O. T. C. companies passing through the Stadium gate on a rainy morning.

Several informal candidates used this rink during the cold snap last week, and while the severe weather lasted the ice was remarkably good...

A. on a rebound, and two minutes later Baker evened it up with a snap shot from a scrimmage. For the first time this week the forwards were making sure of their passes, and the result was a total of seven goals. Townsend played a conspicuous part in the scoring of three, receiving a pass from Baker after about seven minutes of play he took it past the defence and returned it to Baker, who scored...
