YALEUNDISCOURAGED BY LOSS OF ARENA

Yale's hockey hope have not been daunted in the least by the destruction by fire of the New Haven Arena last spring. When the preliminary meeting was held on Tuesday night Manager J. H. P. Gould '25 announced that the entire squad would undertake to journey to Baker Memorial rink at Princeton twice weekly until Christmas vacation.

Wednesdays and Saturdays have been picked for the Princeton practices. To carry out this program all men on the squad will have to cut classes liberally and at the meeting they were requested to save all their cuts for theses trips.

During the days on which the squad is in New Haven before Christmas practice will be held in the baseball cage. On December 27 the the squad will go to Lake Placid for the regular annual vacation practice in conjunction with the Williams team. on January 2 and 3 the Yale team will meet Queens college in Pittsburgh in two games, and will then return to New Haven, where practice will be held, weather permitting, on Bishop's Pond in Woodbridge, Connecticut.

Combined Squad Numbers 56

A total of 56 candidates attended the preliminary meeting on Tuesday night. Of these 34 were candidates for the Freshman.

Eight letter men reported to Coach Wanamaker, which gives Yale one experienced played less than Coach Bigelow has at his disposal. In addition there is the Freshman squad, which, al-

though not so strong a reinforcement as Captain Coady's undefeated sextet, can not be disregarded by any means.

Captain Jenkins heads the list of letter men. At goal he is as strong an asset to the Elis as Coach Bigelow's lack of a first-class tender is a handicap to him. In the final Harvard-Yale game last year in the Boston Arena, Jenkins turned away all shots that were directed his way except one of Captain Crosby's. On the other hand Cumings and Newell, alternating at goal for the University, allowed six tallies to slip by.

The other letter men who form the nucleus around which Coach Wanamaker must build his team are E. P. Cottle '26, B. C. Cutler '26, S. K. Ferguson '26, A. D. Lindley '25, F. A. Potts '26, T. D. Sargent '26, and H. C. Trumbull '25.

Of all these men who earned their letters only two, Captain Jenkins and Sargent, were starters in the final Yale game last year. The University, on the other hand, has only lost one Crosby
