CARNEGIE LAKE DRY.
Princeton Hockey Team Suffers a
Severe Drawback.

Princeton, n. j., Jan. 27.-Princeton
athletics received a severe blow yester-
day when it was announced that an
agreement had been made with the
Pennsylvania Railroad whereby the
new Carnegie lake. recently donated by
Andrew Carnegie, IS 10 be drained This
is done in order that the water in the
Raritan Canal. which runs parallel to
the lake, may be drained without
breaking the dividing bank.
PrincetOn's hope Of winning the in
tercoIlegiate hockey championship was
materially lessened by the fact that the
team will lose the lake, where they
have been practicing for some time, it
being the only available place for the
seven 70 work out on The Tigers have
2 prettv good lead in the Interscholas-
tic Hockey League. but without lake
for practice. il is probable that they
will lose the good form they have been
showing in recent matches. Coming AT
such q time, when there is a foot OF
ice on the lake, il is a big disappOint-
rnent TO the management Of the hockey
team. The lake viii be drained until
February 16.
