...decidedly weak as the communication printed elsewhere indicates, in demanding a final choice of a special field for College work from Freshmen, often incompetent to judge; and it recognizes this weakness by allowing changes of decision, when the reasons seem sufficient. Cumbrous and disagreeable as it may seem to its critics, they must remember that it accomplishes--however much vacillation it may permit--three ends: specialization in one group to the extent of six courses; distribution in the three other groups to the extent of six courses; and a pretty careful reflection by students over their choice. The first means...
...snappy practice game with the B. A. A. in the Arena yesterday afternoon, the University hockey team, though defeated by the score of 2 to 0, showed unusual aggressiveness. The forwards, were decidedly conspicuous in this regard, but the passing still remains a weak point. Hopkins at his new position at centre showed improvement over the game he played at wing, Wash-burn and Carnochan made a number of good stops, and Saltonstall's playing stood out. Devereux and C. S. Clark showed some good team-play...

The work of both teams was far from perfect, and neither line was able to penetrate the opposing defence to any degree. Special attention was pad to passing, in which the team is lamentably weak. Captain Willetts and Claflin are still suffering from minor injuries and Phillips was given a rest...
...split-even with the Syracuse Hockey Club, the first game being won by the University 5 to 2 and the second lost 2 to 1. The team-work of the University forwards was for the most part good; although the shooting was weak; the defense withstood attack very well, but seemed unable to take the puck out from behind the goal. Every game was stiff and extremely beneficial to the team as it had to fight uphill battles. Probably as much improvement was made as possible without the services of Coach Winsor, who was unable to take the trip...
...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 to keep their formation intact. Coach Winsor devoted most of his time to the development of team play in which the team seems weak. Phillips scored both goals for his side on scrimmages in front of the goal, while Doty tallied for the second squad after a dash the length of the rink...
