YEARLING SEPTET FACES YALE 1924 AT ARENA TODAY

YEARLINGS HAVE ABUNDANCE OF FORWARD LINE MATERIAL

At 2 o'clock this afternoon Captain W. E. Crosby will lead the Freshman onto the Arena ice to face the Yale yearlings. Coach Lombard has picked the same team, that defeated M. I. T. twice in practice scrimmage this week, to start against the Blue, with J. J. Lee, R. S. Phillips, Nelson Cabot and G. G. Walker in the forward line, Captain Crosby and S. C. Graves on defense, and T. F. Sherman at goal. But should he find it necessary, he can send in an entire second forward line whose ability is only slightly less than that of those whom he has picked to start, while F. S. Hill, who has been showing up well in practice lately, is ready to step into one of the defense positions if need arises.

Yearlings at Top Form

The Crimson is at the top of its stride now, with a team which has learned to play well as individuals without sacrificing the all-important team-play which was so noticeably lacking early in the season, and with every man in the best of condition. At the mass meeting last night Captain Crosby, R. W. Emmons Occ., a member of the University hockey team and captain of the baseball team, and Coach Lombard, pointed out the record of victories over Yale established by past Freshman teams and the necessity of wiping out the defeat administered to 1924 by Yale last fall.

The Yale team arrived yesterday afternoon and practiced in the Arena from 5 to 6. The Blue yearlings have been handicapped by lack of practice this year, and have had no games to date. As a result their team work looked very ragged; their individual playing, however, was remarkably good. "Charley" O'Hearn, fooaball star for Exeter and Yale, who was reported out of the game with water on the knee, will start today and may be expected to bother the University yearlings with shifty dashes down the ice, for which he has gained a well-earned reputation. He has more speed and ability than any man whom the Crimson has faced this year, and in the scrimmage with the Yale University team in the Arena yesterday showed up as the outstanding man on the ice.
