The University Hockey Team has this season scored two goals to fifteen for Harvard and Princeton. And yet on paper the Yale team is on a par with either of its rivals. What is the trouble?

Through the entire season the team has had one day's rink practice in New Haven with perhaps five additional afternoons on out-lying ponds and marshes. Not a man on the team was on skates the week prior to the last Princeton game. Hockey is impossible under such conditions. An artificial rink must be built in New Haven or hockey, the finest American winter sport, will be of necessity dropped from the Yale athletic program. If hockey is discontinued the university will lose every year a number of the finest men from the leading preparatory schools where hockey is a major sport.

An artificial rink is a considerable initial expense; once in operation it will more than support itself. Money is needed to build such a rink. Without it Yale's reputation suffers. Yale News.
