sprinsheld Defeated-New Haven Won
 the Game by 2 GonIs to 4,


 evening in a happy frame of mind. The result was brought about by the utter defeat of the Springhelds who were conquered by the score of goals to l. The visitors were late in arriv- lnS' being detained by breakdown on the railway. They lost little time, how ever, on reaching the rink, and when they made their appearance, headed by the veteran rusher, Hipson, they were received with a round of cheers. The visitors started in with a rush and at once assumed the aggressive. A clever drlVe by Hipson opened the scoring in forty-tive seconds from the start This put New Haven on their metal and they at once began to take the upper hand in the game. Time and time again Bone and Leydon were at Spring field goal, but only to be repulsed by Latham For nearly eight minutes both teams made strenuous efforts to cage the ball. but all to no purpose, until Bone, by a piece of clever stick work, carried the ball past his oppo- nents, and by a beautiful pass to Ley don that player capitalized amidst great cheering. Another fine piece of play by Bone aided Leydon to cage the ball three minutes later The Springfield team had several trials at Lations, but he was equal for the occasion and Bone again getting the ball juggled it around until he reached the center of the rink when a swift drive again UOwnp6 J,9thon1'S period opened up very fast, both teams playing a very swift and scientific game. The defense of the blues, how ever was of the best type and Springfield had hard work in getting within shooting distance of the cage Bone, who was again playing a sterling game, found an opening and scored another goal performance which he again repeated shortly after. At this juncture he had to leave the floor and Spencer took his place. Springfield took advantage of the weakened con- dition of the blues and made strenuous efforts to score. Their efforts were re- warded by success just before the gong sounded, Mooney doing the needful. Springfield opened the scoring in the last inning. Cornell sent the ball past Lations; four seconds later Leydon scored the prettiest goal of the evening. He carried the ball through all oppo- sition and poked it into the net. Anoth- CT goal was added to the blues register by Bone, and just before time was call- ed Hipson had the honor of closing the scoring as he opened it. New Haven showed decided improvement in team work last night and to this may be attributed their victory. Bone and Leydon played together like one man, while Farrell showed rare judgment in passing and blocking at center. At back w. Whiting played an excellent game, and did much to prevent the Spring field rushers from scoring. Lations' work at goal could hardly have been excelled. Time and time again he made what seemed to be almost impossible stops. Springfield, although defeated, put up very strong game. HiDsons and Councils fine play was only spoiled by the excellent defense of the blues. Mooney, Bartlett and Latham worked like beavers to keep down the score. for which they were repeatedly cheered by the crowd.
