The Freshman hockey team was defeated by St. Paul's School at Concord, N. H., Saturday afternoon by the score of 6 to 0. This game was the next to the last of the Freshman schedule and by far the hardest, as St. Paul's School had previously defeated Princeton by the score of 4 to 0.
The Freshmen played a very good game individually, but were unable to check the persistent attack and excellent team-play of their opponents. The offence of the Freshman team showed a more thorough knowledge of the game and greater skill than the defence. Palmer in particular played well. Gardner at goal, however, was the mainstay of the team, making a number of brilliant stops after the puck had passed the other defence men.
In the beginning of the game, the St. Paul's team played with a rush so that it looked as though it would roll up a large score. In the second half, however, the Freshmen rallied and at the end were playing more as a team than they have done so far this season. With the week of practice that remains devoted to perfecting the team-play the Freshmen should be able to meet the Yale freshmen next Saturday on even terms.
The line-up: Score--St. Paul's School, 6; Freshmen, 0. Referee--F. R. Dolbeare. Time-keeper--W. Scudder. Goals--Kuhn 4, Sortwell 2. Time--15-minute halves.
