Adverse conditions made it advisable early in the season to give up all plans for intercollegiate hockey this winter. Attention was centered on the development of a seven for the proposed Carnival contest, but unprecedented weather conditions, lack of financial backing, and the difficulties of securing an opponent, finally resulted in total abandonment of the sport. Practice of a desultory sort was held for three weeks, with Murphy '19, last year's captain and coach, again in charge.
