HOCKEY

In the way of winter sports hockey just now holds the center of the stage, and there is every indication that the Green seven should have a most successful season. Three men of last year's varsity have returned to college and a number of men who played on their freshman team are out for a berth this year. The schedule has not as yet been published, but it is generally known that Massachusetts Agricultural College will furnish the opposition in the Carnival game, and that the team will play in Boston, New York and Pittsburgh. In Boston it will probably meet the Charlestown Navy Yard team and in Pittsburgh will play the Athletic Association two games.

J. H. Murphy '19 of Maiden, Mass., has been appointed by the Athletic Council as temporary coach and captain. He played on his freshman seven and on the varsity last year at rover. This year his work is by far the best of any member of the squad and he should prove a dangerous man for the Green's opponents. Either Gale or Ross looks like the logical goal tend and Dorney, Hutchinson and Duffill have been playing the other defense positions. Davis, F. Ross, and Sunergren are putting up a strong fight for the wing positions and Proctor for center.

In the opening hockey game of the season on January 19 the team partially retrieved Dartmouth's defeat in football at the hands of Tufts by beating the Medford seven 5-0. Dartmouth's defense showed particularly strong, though Murphy at rover was the shining Light of the game.
