Hockey entered its second week at the University, after the victory over King's College Saturday night, with a proposal for a week's excursion into Canada for the Crimson seven. All arrangements being made by Manager Philip Hofer '21, are strictly tentative, since the plan has not yet been approved by the Athletic Committee.
The journey as outlined would be taken during the mid-year examination period, probably in the last week of January, and would be featured by a game against the University of Toronto. The seven would arrive in the Canadian city at the height of the winter carnival season.
With the first barrier to the advance of the 1921 hockey team--the game against the Nova Scotians--safely passed, Head Coach William H. Claflin '15 takes as his next objective the contest with the B. A. A. seven scheduled for tomorrow night at the New Arena. The Unicorn players, supplemented this year by the addition of much excellent material from the former Harvard Club outfit, are expected to put up a scrap. Such stars as George Percy '18, A. F. Doty '15, and Joseph Stubbs '20, all old Crimson letter men, know how to smash through a Harvard offense if any one does, and will make tomorrow's clash worth seeing, as well as putting the University seven to a rigid test.
Informal Scrimmage With M. I. T.
Yesterday afternoon the first seven lined up opposite the M. I. T. club for an hour of speedy scrimmaging. No score was kept, and three coaches were on the ice constantly, observing individual work and directing team-play. Alfred Winsor '02, Coach Claflin and Coach George "Chippie" Gaw of the Tech men were on hand.
The University line-up seems to have reached fairly definite form. Team A, under Captain Bigelow, appeared in the same order as was used during most of last Saturday's game, with Buntin at the other center position, Bacon and Emmons on the wings, Owen and Humphrey in the back-ice and Holmes at goal.
Inasmuch as the Williams game on the card for Saturday, January, 15, has been called off, in order to schedule an Eastern League contest in the Arena between the B. A. A. and St. Nicholas, the next regular battle for the Crimson skaters will be that with Dartmouth at Boston on January 22.
