...Wachter's men should continue the winning streak that enabled them to down Worcester Tech and New Hampshire State. The game this evening will be the last trial that the team will have before meeting the Blue five Tuesday and the Dartmouth quintet Saturday and will be a searching test of the ability of the players before these two crucial contests...
...second University hockey team will journey to Putnam, Connecticut, today to face the Pomfret skaters in the first scheduled game of the season provided the ice is in a fit condition.

Clearly, the results of a psychological test, if applied with discretion, are a closer estimate of intrinsic mental power...

This meet will be the first test of the strength of the Freshman team and the coaches expect the yearling runners to show up well against their schoolboy opponents. In trials so far this winter no outstanding stars have appeared, but there are a number of reliable men in each event who ought to win places. The Freshman team seems to be strongest in the distance runs and the hurdles...
