The University hockey team held its last scrimmage previous to the Princeton contest in the Arena yesterday afternoon. The men were driven at top speed for about 15 minutes, Team A defeating Team B by the narrow margin of 1 to 0. The fierceness of the play showed that the men have recovered from the effects of overtraining noticeable earlier in the week. Before the scrimmage, the players were given careful drilling in the rudiments of the game, passing and shooting and keeping their formation. Several new combinations of attack were also tried out.
The short scrimmage was hard fought and characterized by a snap and dash which bodes ill for the Princeton seven. The forwards followed the puck closely and shot hard and accurately, Willetts and Claflin offered a stonewall defence to Team B's attack, and each time broke up the opposing forwards' rush. Hopkins tallied the only score of the practice when he drove the puck into the net after Smart had passed it out directly in front of the goal.
