The University hockey team will play its first game, of the season this afternoon at 3 o'clock with the Brae Burn Hockey Club at the Brae Burn Country Club, West Newton. The game was originally scheduled to be played at Cambridge; but, owing to the lack of ice in the Stadium, the game will be held in West Newton, weather permitting. Season ticket-holders will be admitted to the grounds of the club this afternoon.

The Brae Burn team has already played and won four games this winter, and ought to make this game an interesting one. Some of the individual members of the team have had much experience on University teams. The strength of the University team has not yet been tested by any games with outside teams; but, owing to its superior condition and frequent practice, it should win this game.

In case the weather is unsuitable for the game a notice will be placed at Leavitt & Peirce's window.

The two teams will line-up as follows: HARVARD.  BRAE BURN. Pell, l.e.  r.e., Foster Townsend, l.c.  r.c., Mackay Paine, r.c.  l.c., Whidden Newhall, r.e.  l.e., Gilbert Briggs, Foster, c.p.  c.p., Peirce Willetts, p.  p., Marshall Carpenter, g.  g., Peters

Owing to lack of ice the University and class teams did not hold practice yesterday. The members of the University squad played handball in the baseball cage to keep in condition. The following men were taken on to the University training table in the Union yesterday: Briggs, Foster, Leonard, Paine, Rumsey, Willetts.
