TIGER SKATERS LOSE.
st. "Nicks" Beat the CoIlegians in
One-Sided Hockey Match.

The sevens of the ST. Nicholas Skating Club and
Princeton clashed at hockey at the St Nicholas
Rink last night and the colegians were soundiy
drlIbbed by score of 10 to l. Eddie Dillon the
Tiger football player who was on the Princeton
forward line shot the only goal for the collegians.
1t was the second appearance of the Tigers here
this season. the seven having been badly beaten by
tho Crescent Athletic Club last Tuesday night,
There was a large crowd present. and the good
shooting of the st. t'Nicks' generally ap-
plauded though it was plain to see that the spec
taters preferred skating themselves to watching
a hockey match. In spite of the sided score
the game was keeniy contested and the puck was
passed up and down the rink with lightning
rapidity. Chislett, the Tiger goalkeeper, played
brilliantly on the defence, Tending off many hard
shots.
K. Gordon carried off the scoring henors for the
winners, netting the puck three times in the first
period and twice in the second half, This player
shoots from almost any angle and gets terrific
speed into his drives Louther scored once in the
first half and twice in the second period. W. P.

forwards would successfully dribbe the puck
down the ice to within shooting distance of the
St Nicholas goal. only to find that there was no
Princeton player to pass the rubber to for a shot

The game attracted many resident Princeton grad

New-Jersey players were few and far between,
every chance was eagerly seized upon The Orange
