The University hockey team defeated Yale by the score of 4 to 3 at the St. Nicholas Rink, New York, on Saturday evening, thus winning the intercollegiate hockey championship for the fourth consecutive year. Owing to the fact that the Yale team tied the score shortly before the close of the second half, five extra periods were played before the game could be decided.

Harvard completely outplayed its opponents and kept the puck in Yale territory except during a part of the second half, when the Yale team redoubled its efforts. The University players showed exceptional team play, and followed back well, especially Captain Newhall, Town-send, and Macleod. Although the team was at times slow in Corner work, the shooting and passing were excellent. In other points the teams were nearly equal, as the Harvard team had the advantage in weight, but was slightly slower on its skates.

Captain Newhall was the most untiring player on the ice. His body checking and stick work were remarkable and he carried and lifted the puck well. Pell showed unexpected improvement, and was especially fast on the offense, often carrying the puck the entire length of the rink unaided. Townsend's shooting was excellent, and he did much hard body checking. Although Macleod when near his own goal did not always cover his opponent, his stick work was very clever and he showed good endurance. Willetts kept his position well but was forced to withdraw shortly after the beginning of the second half on account of the injury to his wrist. Sampson, who replaced him, played his position well and was very reliable at blocking near the goal.

M. Newhall made the first goal after four minutes of scrimmage. This was followed by a second goal shot by Macleod, assisted by Pell and Townsend. The third goal was made by Captain Newhall who scored by a long lucky shot. This left the score at the end of the first half 3 to 0 in favor of Harvard. In the second half the Yale team rallied and Marcus, assisted by Behr, made two goals, and Alling one, thus tieing the score. After this, four extra periods were played with no scoring for either side, until in the fifth period Townsend, by brilliant individual work, made the winning goal.
