NINE OUT OF THIRTEEN GRADUATE

Nine of the thirteen men who played for the University in the Yale hockey series are members of the class of 1914, leaving but one man in the defence and three on the offence for next year's seven. Only two of those remaining played on the team regularly, these being Captain W. H. Claflin '15 and M. B. Phillips '15. The former will be the mainstay of next year's defence. For goal, W. M. Washburn '15 played in most of the games and plainly showed his ability to fill the place of G. M. Carnochan, Jr., '14. This leaves but one defence position in doubt, and the record of the substitutes and the 1917 team is such that not much uneasiness is felt.

Phillips Centre of Offence.

The offence will be built around M. B. Phillips '15. Phillips for two years has distinguished himself by his fast skating and clever handling of the puck. L. Curtis '16 and E. M. Wanamaker '16, substitutes who played in the Yale games, will probably fill two of the three remaining offence positions. The wealth of material among the substitutes and Freshmen will make easy the successful filling of the vacancies.

Considering that Yale loses all but two of her team, and Princeton will have but one man left, little can be said of the probable result of next year's intercollegiate contests. The University, howover should be represented by a team of strength at least equal to that of Yale and Princeton.
