The University hockey team held a long practice yesterday afternoon in the University rink in the Stadium in preparation for the final game of the season against Yale in New York next Saturday evening. As usual the practice began late in the afternoon to accustom the players to the artificial light which is used in the St. Nicholas Rink.

The main part of the practice was a twenty-minute game with the second team, which followed a long preliminary practice, the two sets of forwards carrying the puck against their respective defences. In the game with the second team the first team forwards kept the puck in their opponents' territory most of the time, but were prevented from scoring by the good defensive work of Browne, Blackall and Smart, combined with the accurate covering by the second team forwards. Several times, however, the latter succeeded in breaking through their opponents and eluding the University defence. Three goals were scored by the second team and three by the first team forwards. The latter should have scored more often, as several sure shots went wild. Nevertheless, the game as a whole was excellent and both teams played fast, aggressive hockey.

The line-up of the two teams was as follows: UNIVERSITY TEAM.  SECOND TEAM. Gardner, l.e.  r.e., Wigglesworth Hicks, l.e.  r.e., Duncan Morgan, r.e.  l.e., Kirkland Hornblower, r.e.  l.e., Leslie Foster, c.p.  c.p., Browne Huntington, p.  p., Blackall Chadwick, g.  g., Smart
