New York, January 19, 1916.--The Princeton hockey team defeated Yale by the score of 2 to 1 in a fast and hard- fought game at the St. Nicholas Rink to-night. During the first period neither team was able to score, due to the perfect playing of both goal tenders.
Both teams started off with a rush at the opening of the second period and gave the spectators an exhibition of fast and clever hockey. Princeton gained the advantage, however, and early in the period Cushman, the left wing of the Tigers, scored the first goal of the game. The Yale seven rallied when the score was against them and after the puck had shifted in several dashes up and down the rink, Burgess, the Yale rover, tied the score with a well-aimed shot from a position well in front of the goal. Captain Peacock a little later won the game for his team with a hard shot past York, the Yale goal tender. The game was especially interesting in view of the fact that Princeton had lost to Yale in a practice game during the holidays, after two victories, which was taken by some to mean that Yale had passed her rivals in development.
