High tide in the winter sports season will be marked tonight when the University meets Yale on the ice at the Arena. Hockey needs no defense here; like football, it pleads its own cause. It has been an established major sport long enough to hold the interest it merits. With the advent of the new Arena, facilities have been such as to encourage the best playing; and the results from the view point of good sport have been thoroughly satisfactory.

There has been but one complaint in hockey circles: the fact that our chief collegiate opponents have been at such a disadvantage that the games have not always been as close as might be desired in championship contests. Fortunately the cause of this inequality has at last been eliminated. With the completion of the Baker Memorial Rink at Princeton, and the recently-constructed rink at New Haven. Princeton and Yale are able to secure adequate practice and put teams on the ice that will be a match for all competitors. In welcoming the Yale sextet to Boston tonight, not the least of our satisfaction lies in the fact that we can anticipate an exciting and hard-fought contest.
