HOCKEY SCHEDULE
December, 1908

Hockey is an ideal winter sport for Dartmouth, and it is very gratifying to see its establishment here more certain each year. The schedule this year is, without doubt, the best that a Dartmouth hockey team has ever been given and includes games with every one of the larger colleges, together with numerous fast home games. Cornell comes here to play for the first time in the athletic history of either college, and a return game is being arranged to be played at Ithaca during the Cornell Prom Week sometime in February. Yale. Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, West Point, and Williams will each be encountered on the trips, while games were arranged for every day of the Christmas vacation, weather and ice permitting. The Brae Burn Country Club has generously extended the courtesy of the club to the hockey men, and the use of its rink for practice.

The schedule affords four and possibly five trips. The first one will be during the Christmas vacation when the team will play a game every day with teams around Boston and vicinity. The next out-of-town game is on January 14, when the men will meet Yale at St. Nicholas Rink New York and on the 16th will play Williams at Williamstown. On January 20 a four day trip will be taken, when Columbia and Princeton will be encountered at New York, and the Army at West Point. The Harvard game will probably be February 13, and on the same trip, St. Paul's School of Concord, N. H., will be taken on. Then there is a tentative trip on which Dartmouth will cross sticks with Cornell at Ithaca and probably University of Toronto at Toronto, Canada.

The home games have not all been definitely arranged as yet, but the Springfield Training, McGill, and Cornell dates are sure, and tentative games are being considered with St. Francis, University of New Brunswick, Ottawa, University of Bishops College, and Laval. The whole schedule bears witness to the time and work put upon it by Manager King, and his efforts should not go unappreciated.

The schedule is as follows :

Dec. 19 — Springfield Training School at Hanover, N. H.

Dec. 26 (afternoon) — Brae Burn Country Club at Brae Burn Rink, West Newton, Mass.

Dec. 30 (evening) — Brae Burn Country Club at Brae Burn Rink, West Newton, Mass.

Dec. 31 — M. I. T. at Brae Burn Rink, West Newton, Mass.

Jan. 2 — Winchester Country Club at Winchester, Mass.

Jan. 9 — McGill University at Hanover.

Jan. 14 — Yale at New York.

Jan. 16 — Williams at Williamstown.

Jan. 20 — Columbia at New York.

Jan. 22 — Princeton at New York.

Jan. 23 — West Point at West Point.

Feb. 5 — Cornell at Hanover.

Feb. 11 (tentative) — Carnegie Tech at Hanover or St. Paul's School at Concord, N. H.

Feb. 13 — Harvard at Cambridge.
