Since the Harvard game, the Yale sextet has engaged in three contests, winning two, and tying the other. The Dartmouth skaters were tied in a two period game played on soft ice in New Haven on February 2, but on ice nearly as bad at Hanover, last Saturday the Green sextet was defeated 3 to 1. On Wednesday night, a much improved Boston University team was turned back at the Arena by a 2 to 1 margin, the brilliant work of Captain Jenkins featuring the work of the Blue skaters...
