HOCKEY PLAYERS FACE PRINCETON IN FINAL GAME OF SERIES WITH TIGERS

The third and deciding game of the Princeton hockey series will be played tonight when the University and Tiger sevens clash in the Arena at 8.15. Each team has won a game from the other by the narrow margin of one goal and in both of these contests there was little to choose between the opposing aggregations.

The Princeton team has not played a game since it was defeated by the University on February 2 and has consequently been able to prepare exclusively for tonight's contest. In that same time the University has defeated McGill and lost to Yale. Although the men had little trouble with the Canadians, their showing in New Haven last Saturday was of the early season variety and they have continued their ragged work during the past week's practice. Coach Winsor has been driving his players hard in the hopes of defeating Princeton, but though past records are more favorable to the University, present conditions point to an advantage for the Tigers.

Princeton has played eight games to date, winning four and losing an equal number. The defeats have been at the hands of the University, Yale, Dartmouth and the B. A. A., while the victories have been over St. Paul's School, Williams, Yale and the University. Twenty-three goals have been scored against the Princeton goal tenders, and the same number by the Tiger forwards. Captain Schoen is the high scorer with ten goals to his credit. On the other hand the University has won six contests and lost but three, scoring 32 goals to its opponents' 16.

The Crimson team will be strengthened by the return of Thacher to the line up. He has been laid up with a bad knee practically the entire season, and though he started in the last game against Princeton, he had to leave the ice after a few minutes. He has been playing consistently during the past week, however, and will be Captain Morgan's defensive partner tonight.

The Princeton seven will be composed of the same men who faced the University three weeks ago. The Tigers are accustomed to play the entire game, without substitutions, contrary to the practice of Coach Winsor, so that these men will probably not be taken out. Captain Schoen scored all three goals against the University in the last game and is the most consistent of the forwards. Hills and Humphreys are both fast and clever with the stck and Cushman is but slightly inferior to them. The combination play of the forward line is quick and accurate. Comey and Scully are fair defensive players, but are inclined to play a rough game. Ford, at goal, may be classed with J. I. Wylde '17 and York of Yale as being one of the best three goal tenders in intercollegiate hockey
