...first and second hockey teams lined up for a hard 45-minute scrimmage yesterday afternoon. The defence men of both teams were interchanged, the first team defence playing with the second string forwards and the second string defence with the first string forwards. Claflin was not in the line-up, as he is nursing a leg, cut in the B. A. A. game Saturday. Doty took his place. By this arrangement the first team forwards were able to score twice as against one goal by their opponents. The work of the forward lines was rather ragged, neither pair being able...
...With this handicap and that of unfavorable weather at a time when the new material was most in need of practice, the team has been forced to go through the season with but one victory and one tie to its credit out of six games played. In reality, the string of defeats does not represent the actual strength of the team, for most of the games have been very closely played, all the defeats, except that at Princeton, being be a small margin...
...whether the playing of the team is affected by strange territory or not. At all events, the team as a whole, and especially the attack, will be compelled to play better soccer than heretofore in the season in order to defeat the strong Princeton eleven. The latter has a string of victories to its credit and that of 3 to 1 against the Crescent Athletic Club of Brooklyn is considered specially indicative of good work. The University line-up to start the game is as follows: l.o.f., Weld; l.i.f., Carnochan; c.f., Baker; r.i.f., Foster; r.o.f., Smart; l.h.b., Carson; c.h.b., Francke...
...coaches, the squad worked continuously at a high tension. Hardwick's punting showed great improvement, while Brickley drop-kicked goals with his usual accuracy. Although the plays were run with dash and precision when the regulars were working, the drill became slower and less smooth when the first string men were replaced by the substitutes. The coaches are now endeavoring to prepare the substitutes to fill all gaps, and to overcome the serious defect so manifest in Saturday's game, the vulnerability of the team after a few changes have been made from the regular line...
...past? We like to say, "Yes," and we certainly believe it, to this extent: the regular University team is as strong as any team we have seen. But Cornell's touchdown and indeed, her showing during the entire fourth period last Saturday, proved beyond a doubt that the second string players could not be relied upon to win a final game. Imagine the team without a single one of its regular backs! Then we will realize that the luck element may play some part in our season before it ends; anl the only safe way to count on luck...
