YALE HOCKEY GAME TONIGHT

The University hockey team will play the last game of its schedule with Yale in the St. Nicholas Rink, New York City, this evening at 8.15 o'clock.

By winning this game Harvard will rank second in the intercollegiate league standing. Since the defeat by Princeton on January 15, constant progress has been made, especially in the team-work of the forwards, and the game this evening should be extremely close. Yale may tie for second place in the league by winning from Harvard, when they will each have won and lost three games.

On the basis of comparative scores, it is impossible to pick the winning team, for the evidence of such scores is contradictory. Thus Harvard defeated Cornell 5 to 0, and Cornell defeated Yale 3 to 1; and on the other hand, Princeton defeated Harvard 3 to 0, and Yale only 2 to 1 in a very close game.

Harvard, however, has the advantage of having four experienced forwards in Hicks, Hornblower, Gardner, and Morgan, all players who defeated Yale last year. The defence, made up of Foster, Huntington, and Chadwick, have had far less experience and have yet to show the result of a season's coaching. Of the Yale team only Johnson and Heron played against Harvard last year.

So far this season, the University team has defeated the Massachusetts Institute of Technology 4 to 1, Cornell 5 to 0, Columbia 6 to 0, and Dartmouth 5 to 0. It has lost to Princeton, the intercollegiate league champion, 3 to 0, and to St. Francis Xavier of Nova Scotia. The team has been more or less handicapped all year by the inability of F. W. Morgan '10, right centre on last year's team, to play. Leslie and Duncan have filled his place alternately. However, Morgan got into the Dartmouth game a week ago, and his playing greatly strengthened the forward line.

The Yale team began its season by winning one out of a series of three practice games with Princeton during the Christmas vacation. The following week it won two out of three matches with Cornell. After defeating Amherst, Yale lost its first league game to Princeton, 2 to 1. On February 2, Technology was defeated, and on February 5, Yale lost its second league game to Cornell, 3 to 1. The last two games have resulted in victories for Yale, the team winning from Columbia on February 10, and from Dartmouth on last Wednesday.

The line-up this evening will be as follows: HARVARD.  YALE. Gardner, l.e.  r.e. Heron Hicks, l.c.  r.c., Loutrel Morgan, r.c.  l.c., Martin Hornblower, r.e.  l.e., Merritt Foster, c.p.  c.p., Johnson Huntington, p.  p., Swenson Chadwick, g.  g., Williams
